Dutch by Jamie Christian Deplaces

[vanhuchri]

A couple weeks ago I entered a competition of goodreads to win the book 'dutch' written by Jamie Christian Deplaces. I didn't win, but he sent me a hard-copy of the book anyway since I really wanted to read it.

The book is about two brothers, Zak and Daniel, who both got into drugs after their parents died in a car accident. The story is situated in a psychologists office, Hong Kong, and the place Zak and Daniel grew up. It's a very modern story but at the same time written in an extremely elegant poetic style. I found it refreshing how a story about the horrors and drama of drug abuse could be retold in such a different style.

The book was published this year and is available on goodreads if anyone is interested.
