De joodse Bram Mannheim werkt als vrijwilliger op een ambulancedienst. Zestien jaar eerder verdween zijn toen 4-jarig zoontje. Bij een aanslag op een grenspost doet Bram een ontdekking die ervoor zorgt dat hij de speurtocht naar zijn zoon weer oppakt. Boek is in 2008 verschenen, het speelt zich af in de nabije toekomst (2024) en ik lees het in 2016. Het is bizar en (beangstigend) actueel! Goed geschreven en zeer spannend! sem crÃticas | adicionar uma crÃtica

Since 2024 is just around the corner (two years from now), one gets a fair idea of how mis-placed and ludicrous this Jewish apartheid mentality of fear (‘waiting for the barbarians’) is. A fear that translates into and legitimizes ruthless racial oppression of the enemy (arabs). De Winter is a political spin doctor who wants us, the readers, to believe that the moment of destruction of the Jewish state lies just around the corner, and that the sharia is about to be introduced in a neighbourhood of one of the most liberal-minded cities in the world (Amsterdam). Perhaps the only arab assassination of a Dutch film maker (2004, Theo van Gogh) made de Winter hit this level of hysteria, or perhaps it is just good old fashioned Shoah based victimhood combined with a toxic sense of (democratic) superiority and wealth that besets the Israeli state. In any case if one substitutes the West bank or Gaza strip for Israel in the writer’s description of shrinking territory and collapsing surveillance society, where one is never quite sure of surviving the enemy’s onslaught, then it would be almost correct for 2024, I suspect…
Yet the novel provides useful insights into this siege mentality, portrays the different standpoints one can take in this on-going debate, and moreover gives us a superb novel on strained father-son relations. Once one recognizes and acknowledges the complete and unjustified bias presented by de Winter, one can actually enjoy this novel! ( )
