A brooding meditation on violence by a classic post-war Dutch writer who has drawn comparisons to Joseph Heller and Kurt Vonnegut.
First translation into English of a classic war story from the revered Dutch writer, following hot on the heels of the success of Gerard Reve's "The Evenings". A man takes up in an abandoned house, and as the Germans come marching up the garden path is forced to declare the house his own.
