Live and let live
14.99 €
As readers know, Hendrik Gruhn himself hates boredom and doesn't let others have it. Therefore, his third novel presents a completely new story, completely unrelated to the Amsterdam almshouse. This time, we won't meet Gruhn in person, but judging by his merciless observations and inimitable irony, he's lingering nearby, spying... Arthur Ophoff is disillusioned. He's about to turn fifty, and his life is synonymous with despondency. A boring job, a boring marriage without children or passion, boring hours stuck in traffic jams instead of long journeys to exotic destinations and the thrills he'd dreamed of so much. A game of golf with friends on Friday is the highlight of the week. And then, on top of that, he's been unfairly fired. It's time to give up on himself... or devise a cunning plan for a radical change in his fate.
