And those who are puzzled/bored/annoyed at all the fuss. I'm among those shaking their heads in wonder. The book is hypnotic, a little weird, but human - and funny, if you tune into its subtle, ultra-brittle humor. "The Evenings" is a work of austere brilliance. Review: Pitcher of the Wry - In a city in the Netherlands in the late 40's, a male twenty-something office worker lives with his parents in a modest apartment. The book covers his thoughts about, and conversations with, family and friends over several days during the Christmas and New Years holidays. He is intelligent, sarcastic, dark, cynical, insecure; perhaps an underachiever. It seems that his running commentary is a justification for his existence, or a way to avoid facing the banality of his life. Some have compared this to "Catcher in the Rye." It is not that good. I really never came to care for the character, and skimmed through some scenes to finish the book. But, as a literary device of sorts, it has some appeal. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 1782271783 | | Best Sellers Rank | #430,266 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,974 in Coming of Age Fiction (Books) #3,464 in Psychological Fiction (Books) #14,415 in Literary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 3.2 3.2 out of 5 stars (204) | | Dimensions | 5.38 x 1.03 x 8.07 inches | | ISBN-10 | 9781782271789 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1782271789 | | Item Weight | 14.4 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 352 pages | | Publication date | January 31, 2017 | | Publisher | Pushkin Press | ## Images ![The Evenings: A Winter's Tale - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/713jKH5ZyeL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Wonderful Book *by E***L on March 4, 2017* Judging by the reviews below, there are two types of readers - those who see the "The Evenings" as some kind of miracle - a masterpiece coming to light after seventy years.

The structure ending with a dream each night works well for me. I think the comments about this novel being one of the best European novel of the 20th century does a disservice to the reader. Comparisons with Salinger are exaggerated--I did find the situation of a young man still living with his parents to be timely. I was glad to find a Dutch novel as not many are translated. I did feel as if I were living 80 years ago as I read and forgot about time. Interesting literary experience. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/38748727-the-evenings-a-winters-tale](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/38748727-the-evenings-a-winters-tale) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
