Collection adds to case for Nobel Laureate nomination
SET among the islands of the Mediterranean, this short collection of stories from Dutch author Cees Nooteboom represents the truest, most distilled form of literary writing.
There is little in the way of plot, but then narrative is less Nooteboom’s concern than the careful, philosophical consideration of life, death, and the thin line between them where tedium and profundity can somehow coexist.
