PremiumPeter Buwalda goes wild in a grim family fairy tale about deceiving and being deceived

Literature, he believes, is a sublime art. He doesn’t write ‘Good reads’. Peter Buwalda, acclaimed author of voluminous novels, shows himself – not surprisingly – in his latest, The Yes-Man, as God on a magic mountain. He juggles with storyline and characters, writes a novel-within-a-novel, flirts with postmodernism and borrows from Grote Schrijvers. In his sequel to Otmar’s sons, Buwalda goes all out.
