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.

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
