Accidentally, a Book is a collection of essays on reading, writing and drawing. The book is set in Leiden, The Netherlands and tells of its various reading spaces. I explore how the processes of reading, writing and drawing are related: all propel each other. I'm drawn to the materiality of books and their spaces. How access shapes what we read and thus what one may end up writing. The writing of this book also provides some of the context for the establishing of Reading Sideways Press.
