unearths some literary gems.
From works by Maarten Maartens:
["Maarten Maartens" was a pen name chosen by a Dutch author who was writing in English. Supposedly he wanted a psuedonym that would sound Dutch to English-speakers but also be easy to remember. Most of the snippets attached are from a short story entitled "The Permanent Fool." The chapter-title highlights are from a novel called A Question of Taste; Maartens also wrote a novel called My Lady Nobody.]
