«The Evenings» is the novel by Gerard Reve, published by Pushkin Press in hardcover (352 pages, in English).
Set in Amsterdam in the years after the Second World War, it follows Frits, a twenty-three-year-old office worker who lives with his parents and feels routine as an absurdity. Over ten December nights, between unsettling dreams and solitary walks through dark streets, he tries to make sense of the repeating days, in a portrait of everyday alienation with dry humor.
Work originally published in Dutch in 1947 as De avonden. Een winterverhaal. This English edition is a translation by Sam Garrett and belongs to the Pushkin Collection.
It is aimed at readers of European literary fiction and modern classics who appreciate black humor and the portrayal of youthful alienation.
