Wieringa, Tommy

In this taut, psychologically powerful tale, long-listed for the 2019 International Booker Prize, Wieringa’s masterly descriptions create a sense of foreboding. Wieringa excels at characterization while raising serious questions surrounding identity and immigration in a deceptively brief work. Highly recommended.

Wieringa masterfully examines the complex and often agonizing work that many of us must undertake to live our own healthy, independent, adult lives. Enthusiastically recommended for fans of literary fiction.
