The UnDutchables: An Observation of the Netherlands, its culture, its inhabitants - "A sometimes funny, sometimes scathing portrayal of (Dutch) national habits." Washington Post. A cynically apt, precise yet funny scrutiny of the Netherlands. You may not have known that the Dutch can be laughed at. The book exposes that which is missing from the myriad of flattering photo-compilations & tourist books. After a historically-based introduction, the reader is advised: "The longer you stay, the deeper you sink in." There follows a satirical exploration of the most diverse aspects of daily Dutch life; from coffee to child rearing, from train travel to the toilet. Bikes: "They are called fiets, probably because that's what powers them." The Dutch flag: "With true originality, the national flag is the French tricolore turned sideways." White & Boucke know their subject matter inside out. As a leading Dutch daily newspaper explains it: "In a very exact yet funny way, The UnDutchable discloses all the secrets about us that we really would have preferred to keep to ourselves."
