." . . Tirza is easily one of the most psychologically disturbing reads to come along in this, or any recent year ... Tirza offers up a difficult, disturbing journey, but it';s also a fascinating exploration of both the power of family and the lengths that we';re willing go to as parents for our special children that we love oh so dearly."--Aaron Westerman, Typographical Era
"In short, Tirza is a wonderful book about a very strange man"--Tony Malone, Tony's Reading List
"With this novel, Grunberg advances slowly but surely toward the class of major authors who write lucidly about the incomprehensibility of human actions."--Haarlems Dagblad
Longlisted for the 2014 Best Translated Book Award
"Grunberg chronicles the mistakes of a morose Dutch bourgeois and constructs a delectable psychological thriller."—Le Figaro
Jörgen 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, Choukri—who bears a disturbing resemblance to Mohammed Atta—and 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 still-developing oeuvre.
Arnon Grunberg started his own publishing company at the age of 19 and wrote his first, of many, best-seller at 23. He's twice won the AKO Literature Prize, the Dutch equivalent of the Booker Prize. He's also twice won the prize for the best debut novel—once under a pseudonym.
Sam Garrett has translated a number of works by Arnon Grunberg and Tim Krabbé, among others. He won the Vondel Translation Prize for his translation of Frank Westerman's Ararat.
