‘Herman Koch, the best-selling postwar Dutch writer, shows yet again why he is the master of suspense and open endings.’ **** Humo

‘Tense, ingeniously constructed novel by a chuckling writer.’ ZIN

‘A feast of clarity. Herman Koch responds with stunning irony, scope and narrative efficiency.’ El Periódico (Spain)

'Gripping and disturbing and unexpected. [Koch] spares no one, least of all his readers.’ HERALD SUN

‘Koch proved himself a master at recording absurd trains of thoughts and slapstick situations. Both painful and hilarious at the same time.’ NRC HANDELSBLAD

‘War at Last is a subtle parody of all post-war war literature.’ de Volkskrant

‘Koch has outdone himself. His heroine is beautiful, tragic and believable.’ De Groene Amsterdammer

‘A humorous book about the desire for literary fame.’ Dagblad van het Noorden

‘Anyone who really wants to understand Koch’s popular novels should start with these stories.’ NRC Handelsblad

‘Should Tom Sanders disregard that advice? Or should he tackle his son about his behaviour? That is the central dilemma in Easy Living, and Koch gets a devilish kick out of making Tom Sanders vacillate between these two options, and gets an even greater kick out of pushing him into a corner.’ Parool
