‘Koch has mastered his métier with effortless superiority. Inventive, deceptively clear and full of friction. A publisher’s promise has rarely been so fully delivered.’ **** de Volkskrant

‘The writing is crystal clear and unpretentious, typically Koch!’ **** NRC HANDELSBLAD

‘A brilliant tragicomedy about the elasticity of morality. The reader has to constantly readjust his radar.’ Frankfurter Algemeine Zeitung (Germany)

‘The witty new novel by Herman Koch' MAMA

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

Koch’s writing style is a rare combination of exuberance and understatement. What he describes is so understated and low-key it never becomes superficial.’ NRC Handelsblad

‘Thinking of Bruce Kennedy shows us Koch at his best.’ Vrij Nederland

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

‘Fiction or reality, lie or truth, autobiographical or otherwise, Koch has certainly convinced us of his talent with this collection of short stories.’ Cutting Edge
