Charlie Jermyn
Join Charlie Jermyn as he reads some work from his debut book, The Boy, The Bucket and The Persistent Tide live in Limestone Books.
The Netherlands is ‘a nation that has been dredged up from the water and which attempts, to this day, to hold back the persistent tide’. After moving to the Netherlands in his early twenties, Charlie Jermyn found himself adopting a similar approach in his writing as he attempted to understand the country. Submerging himself in the culture through its art history, eccentricities and ordinariness, he built a home from the reclaimed sand. As the tides of time draw ever closer, threatening to sweep away the present, rather than waiting for it to wash in, Charlie ventures off the beaten track and observes the world with a boundless enthusiasm for the all-too-often overlooked, reminding us to take note of the mad and brilliant world around us before the tide comes in again.
