This review is from: Founding Fictions of the Dutch Caribbean (Paperback)
Before a first visit to Curacao I decided to get this book to help me better understand what I would see. This is a wonderful book which deserves to be better known. The two stories tell of a tangled web between the islands' colonial past and multi-ethnic present. Of the two, "Stranger on Earth" was the more substantial and surprising, about a disaffected young man of Dutch heritage who leaves the island for the Netherlands only to find dullness, decay and despair. The story doesn't end there and takes him to a love affair in macho, Catholic Spain and back to the island as he searches for a meaningful life. I'd love to read more by Van Leeuwen.
