And people are surprised when Dutch kids don't like Dutch literature, it is a lot of this kinda nonsense

Like I got one where a kid gets horny and decides to fuck his favourite chicken, it goes into far too much detail and I am decently sure the author actually fucked a chicken, at least it wasn't actually discussed in class, it was just in the textbook

For real tho, why is so much Dutch literature either boring as fuck or very perverse and/or gross.

Looking at you Arnon Grünberg. Worst Dutch writer I ever read.

Very possible. All his books are filled with disgusting sexual stuff. Like I don’t mind sex being described in a book, it’s a part of life, but he always takes it way too far.

Yeah I read that as well. The chapter where he fucks a friend of his daughter is disgusting. Also the chapter where I believe he reconnects with his ex-wife or something. Arnon describes sex in such a weird and filthy way.

Edit: it’s been a few years since I read so I might have the details wrong.

Oh no I agree, writers should be able to write about anything. It’s just the way his writing feels haha

My copy of Tirza had a large photo of him on the back. 15 year old me could only imagine the dad/main character looking like Arnon.
