The Streetbird (Amsterdam Cops) by Janwillem Van De Wetering
Van de Wetering's novels (The Perfidious Parrot, etc.) are known for their witty plots and eccentric characters; his books on Zen are quirky and engaging.
Finally, though, it is quirkiness not mental gymnastics that draw us to these stories, with van de Wetering never failing to isolate those moments of sheer human oddity that unlock the emotional lives of his characters.

  Janwillem van de Wetering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Janwillem van de Wetering (Middle name: Lincoln, recently also uses Janwillem Vandewetering as a "pen and reference name"; born 12 February 1931) is the author of a number of works in English and Dutch; he is particularly noted for his detective fiction.

His many travels and his experiences in a Zen Buddhist monastery and as a member of the Amsterdam Special Constabulary ("being a policeman in one's spare time" as he phrased it in his introduction to Outsider in Amsterdam) lend authenticity to his works of fiction and nonfiction.

Van de Wetering's ferociously inquisitive approach to learning crashes boundaries; she gleans information from the whole span of disciplines, studying the details with a jewel cutter's precision, never losing sight of the essential quest for meaning.
Thus, for Van de Wetering it was a logical progression to move from history, science and philosophy to pioneer a curriculum of women's studies: Any field of study is obviously skewed and incomplete, she said, when the contributions of half the population over all time have been ignored.
Van de Wetering's vision was first to offer one core class, Philosophical Perspectives on Women in Western Culture, which she developed.

 Crime Time On-Line - book review - Outsider in Amsterdam by Janwillem van der Wetering - 1569470170 - Soho Crime - ...
The gruff, older Grijpstra and the young, hip and intellectual de Gier, although the classic 'chalk-and-cheese' police duo that readers have come to expect, and occasionally dread, are sufficiently sympathetic and quirky to engage the interest of the reader.
This is particularly evident in their conversation where van der Wetering shows his talent for wry, amusing and remarkably subtle dialogue.
Although at this stage van der Wetering had not quite developed the distinctive mix of surrealism, Zen philosophy and broad comedy that characterise many of his later Amsterdam Cops novels, but in balance, the plot is considerably more lucid and less deliberately obscure than some of the later novels.

 Art researcher verifies authenticity of Rembrandt
But van de Wetering says the painting was most likely worked on by at least one other artist to make it more salable when Rembrandt went bankrupt in 1656.
Van de Wetering gave his answer to the question about the painting's authenticity in a recent lecture in Melbourne, Australia.
Still, some experts say that many aspects of the painting are unmistakably Rembrandt, like the beautifully painted quiver of arrows under the arm of the rider, and that the three-dimensional quality of the horse's neck and head and the brushwork of the harness suggest the master's style.

Van de Wetering uses a number of koans as the framework for Afterzen’s narrative, but the Mu koan is the mother of them all.
