Description
Toon Tellegen's acclaimed sequence of poems depicts the dynamics of a family held hostage by the mood-swings and histrionics of a father, a figure both comic and terrifying, grotesque and pathetic.
'His [Tellegen's] complex, often surreal and always highly affecting poems exhibit an understanding of the power of the story in which the dream-like psychology, the marvellously nuanced telling of a family's malaise set him apart as an entirely distinctive voice in European poetry.' - 2011 Popescu Prize judges Sasha Dugdale and Jane Draycott.
Toon Tellegen, born in 1941, is one of Holland's best known writers, the recipient of many awards. He is foremost a poet but is also a successful children's book writer and novelist. He lives in Amsterdam with his wife, and worked as a general medical practitioner until his recent retirement.
