Cees Nooteboom - The Following Story
Multiple award-winning Dutch writer Cees Nooteboom on his novel The Following Story.
This quixotic 鈥榥ovel of ideas鈥� blends philosophical reflection with the haunting tale of Herman Mussert, a retired, outmoded ancient language teacher preoccupied with Classical antiquity. After falling asleep one evening in Amsterdam, he mysteriously wakes the next morning in a hotel room in Lisbon where he slept with another man鈥檚 wife twenty years earlier. From here Mussert embarks on an enigmatic journey of the mind, contemplating passion, death, wisdom and disillusionment. Presented by Harriet Gilbert.
