The John Adams Institute, established to promote cultural exchange between the Netherlands and America, has some really great speakers lined up in the coming months. For example, on the 25th of May, Paul Theroux will be speaking about his work. According to their website:

From Hemingway to Dickens, from Nabokov to Twain, from Isak Dinesen to Graham Greene, many of the world's great writers were also great travel writers. Paul Theroux, arguably the most renowned living travel writer, has capped a fifty year writing career with The Tao of Travel, a collection of travel stories--by himself and others.

After his talk Paul Theroux will be signing books. I've just been informed tickets are sold out on the John Adams website, but where there's a will, there's a way!

Keep an eye out on their website for upcoming events, and remember to snatch up those tickets quickly. Discounts are available for students and members.
