Writing text is not so very different from writing music. Lorre has always loved both. Logically she started translating cover notes for musician colleagues: then writing the notes themselves (for Willem Breuker and of course for her own CD's). She has also helped her psychologist husband with the English versions of his academic articles. At the moment she is translating a Ph.D. thesis by Dr. Ming Govaars-Tjia from Dutch into English for the NWO: "Dutch education in a colonial society. The Chinese experience in Indonesia 1900-1942." Meanwhile she is transforming notes, interviews and newspaper articles into a book about a small town in northwestern North Dakota during the early decades of the 20th century.
