Longlisted for the 2014 Best Translated Book Award'Grunberg chronicles the mistakes of a morose Dutch bourgeois and constructs a delectable psychological thriller.'Le FigaroJrgen Hofmeester once had it all: a beautiful wife, a nice house with a garden in an upperclass neighborhood in Amsterdam, a respectable job as an editor, two lovely daughters named Ibi and Tirza, and a large amount of money in a Swiss bank account. But during the preparations for Tirza's graduation party, we come to know what he has lost. His wife has left him; Ibi is starting a bed and breakfast in France, an idea which he opposed; the director of the publishing house has fired him; and his savings have vanished in the wake of 9/11.But Hofmeester still has Tirza, until she introduces him to her new boyfriend, Choukriwho bears a disturbing resemblance to Mohammed Attaand they announce their plan to spend several months in Africa. A heartrending and masterful story of a man seeking redemption, Tirza marks a high point in Grunberg's stilldeveloping oeuvre.Arnon Grunberg started his own publishing company at the age of 19 and wrote his first, of many, bestseller at 23.
