A funny, intelligent story of an extraordinary youth.
When he wrote this phenomenon in the Netherlands, Tobi was Sofie, a young student with a passion for soccer and a cheeky writer whose mother has just died. Sofie, who already sees herself as a literary luminary, gives an unvarnished account of those who pass through her sex life: Walter the recruitment consultant, Crétin D. the romance writer, Jennifer the actress in need of a role, Rose the team captain. Her story becomes general, sensitive, always biting. Kafka, lesbian fundamentalists, the Holocaust, TV stars, Adorno, loneliness, love, death—no subject is foreign to Lakmaker’s writing.
