Description
Twenty-three-year-old Frits's life is a series of tiny, quotidian triumphs and heartbreaks. He works in an office, taking cards out of a file, putting them back in again with no apparent purpose. Outside the office, he navigates the gloomy city streets, drinking, smoking, and seeing friends, yet struggling to make sense of his days.
As Frits wanders through these ten evenings at the end of December, darkly funny moments alternate with moments of profound beauty. His dreams are filled with death and destruction, while he talks to a toy rabbit in an attempt to find meaning. This is a story about finding life's absurdity and inexplicability in the everyday.
Gerard Reve's The Evenings is a work of brilliant wit and beauty, turning the tiny moments of our lives into something profound and mesmerising.
