Omschrijving
A beautifully observed, subtle and precise novel about guilt, relationships and loss from Otto de Kat, one of the Netherlands' most compelling literary voices.
These are novels of subtle emotional distance . . . as physical as a blow to the heart
One of the Netherlands' most compelling literary voices
De Kat's ambition of theme is served by astonishing tautness of construction and spareness of language
In Laura Watkinson's excellent translation this is a story that expands way beyond its 140 pages.
Otto de Kat is the pen name of the founder of Dutch non-fiction publishing house Balans, Jan Guert Gaarlandt, also a poet, novelist and critic. His prize-winning novels have been widely published in Europe, and Man on the Move was the winner of the Netherlands' Halewijn Literature Prize.
