Ben Aitken

    Ben Aitkens schrijven komt vaak voort uit onconventionele ervaringen en scherpe observatie. Zijn vroege werk omvatte het volgen van de voetsporen van een populaire reisschrijver door het Verenigd Koninkrijk, wat leidde tot een verzameling humoristische voetnoten. Verder trok Aitken naar Polen om zich onder te dompelen in een lokale fish and chips-zaak, een ervaring die de basis vormde voor zijn volgende boek. Door deze unieke reizen verkent Aitken culturele nuances en persoonlijke avonturen met een onderscheidende, boeiende stem.
