CGiii Comment
De Avonden is alternately arch, mesmerizing, and poignant yarn about fading adolescence and personal transformation. 23 old year clerk endures hilarious meals with his flatulent, deaf father and demandingly eager-to-please mother, with whom he lives. He lurks around public pools with his demented friend Duivenis, a greasy-haired boy torture fantasist. And he stumble through parties, offices, school reunions, and various sexual encounters with the vivid fear and defensive cynicism of a true neurotic.
