A modern masterpiece, voted the greatest Dutch novel of all time
_______________ 'I work in an office. I take cards out of a file.
Once I have taken them out, I put them back in again. That is it.'
Twenty-three-year-old Frits - office worker, daydreamer, teller of
inappropriate jokes - finds life absurd and inexplicable. He lives
with his parents, who drive him mad. He has terrible, disturbing
dreams of death and destruction. Sometimes he talks to a toy
rabbit. This is the story of ten evenings in Frits's life at the
end of December, as he drinks, smokes, sees friends, aimlessly
wanders the gloomy city streets and tries to make sense of the
minutes, hours and days that stretch before him. Darkly funny and
mesmerising, The Evenings takes the tiny, quotidian triumphs and
heartbreaks of our everyday lives and turns them into a work of
brilliant wit and profound beauty.
