Blue Mondays

Arnon Grunberg, 28 years old, has written a lot of columns in the newspaper "NRC Dagblad". He quit school when he was 16 for cutting classes. This amazing man, who designed a writing style which no writer has done before, debuted with "Blue Mondays". This book is definitely a gold mine. The writing style is unique, and you speed through the book, for Grunberg's sentences have this effect on the reader. This I know from the fact that I've read his other 3 books (not yet translated in English). It is very pleasent to read. I quote "Grunberg goes to the hookers a few times, and suddenly he's a famous author". The fact that he went to the hookers, just makes sure you get a strong impression on how the writer thinks, for he describes these experiences in great detail. Still, until the last part of the story, you are again and again amazed on his true, or possible made up, memories. An astonishing book from an amazing writer. A true recommendation.
