Wie Koch kent, weet gemanipuleerd te gaan worden, met onweerstaanbare vertellers en superieure ironie. En ook nu weer krijgt hij je in de tang NRC

Book The Ditch
‘Herman Koch shows brilliantly how you can see things that might not be there at all, how your imagination can run away with you. The Ditch is an ode to the imagination.’ **** Het Parool

The Ditch

‘A groundbreaking book, clever and important. It is an ext remely funny, ‘shake awake’ book, that we probably need more than we’d like to know. I hope that there will be more translations of Herman Koch’s books. It will be a pleasure.’ Nordjyske (Denmark)

The Dinner

‘Koch demonstrates his great narrative talent.’ DE TELEGRAAF

Dear Mr M.

‘Questionable morals in a provoking drama.’ **** OPZIJ

Summer House with Swimming pool

‘Should Tom Sanders disregard that advice? Or should he tackle his son about his behaviour? That is the central dilemma in Easy Living, and Koch gets a devilish kick out of making Tom Sanders vacillate between these two options, and gets an even greater kick out of pushing him into a corner.’ Parool

Easy Living

‘Fiction or reality, lie or truth, autobiographical or otherwise, Koch has certainly convinced us of his talent with this collection of short stories.’ Cutting Edge

A Brief History of Deceit

Thinking of Bruce Kennedy
‘Koch has put it all ingeniously together. His humour is as restrained as his style. A powerful novel, without cannonballs whizzing past your ears. And yet the ending will keep ringing in your head long after you have finished reading it.’ Het Parool

Thinking of Bruce Kennedy

‘While reading, you get caught up in the double-mesh nets of Herman’s actions and illusions.’ Trouw

War at Last

‘A novel both hilarious and poignant that turns everything on its head so often that you end up not knowing which is which: fiction or reality.’ GPD
