THE EVENINGS - GERARD REVE TASCHENBUCH

THE FIRST ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF A POSTWAR MASTERPIECE 'I work in an office. I take cards out
of a file. Once I have taken them out  I put them back in again. That is it.'
Twenty-three-year-old Frits - office worker  daydreamer  teller of inappropriate jokes - finds
life absurd and inexplicable. He lives with his parents  who drive him mad. He has terrible 
disturbing dreams of death and destruction. Sometimes he talks to a toy rabbit. This is the
story of ten evenings in Frits's life at the end of December  as he drinks  smokes  sees
friends  aimlessly wanders the gloomy city street and tries to make sense of the minutes  hours
and days that stretch before him. Darkly funny and mesmerising  The Evenings takes the tiny 
quotidian triumphs and heartbreaks of our everyday lives and turns them into a work of
brilliant wit and profound beauty.
