A Sunday Times Book of the Year: A brooding meditation on violence set during World War II--from a classic Dutch writer who has drawn comparisons to Joseph Heller and Kurt Vonnegut

In this mesmerizing, dark meditation on the legacy of war, an interloper and opportunist makes a grand house of his own in the chaos of a war-torn countryside--only to find himself involved with occupying forces and enraged locals.

He wrote essays, scientific studies, short stories, and poems, but was best known for several novels, the most famous of which are De tranen der acacias (The Tears of the Acacias, 1949), De donkere kamer can Domecles (The Darkroom of Damocles, 1958), and Nooit meer sleepen (Beyond Sleep, 1966). About the translator: David Colmer is a writer and translator. He translates Dutch literature in a wide range of genres including literary fiction, nonfiction, children's books, and poetry. He is a four-time winner of the David Reid Poetry Translation Prize, and received the 2009 Biennial NSW Premier and PEN Translation Prize. His translation of Gerbrand Bakker's The Twin (Archipelago) was awarded the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award and he received--along with Gerbrand Bakker--the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize for Bakker's novel The Detour.
