Présentation de l'éditeur
When he was 12, Sam van Dijk's parents were killed in a mysterious car accident, and since then he has lost all memory of his childhood. Now in his 30s, alienated from society and adrift in life, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery -- one that takes him through the gritty, and sometimes violent landscape of a Dutch city and the tantalizing, ethereal fabric of his memory. With his restless brother and twin sister as his only links to the world of his childhood, he gradually pieces together the haunting shards of his past and retrieves the missing story of his life. In the course of a moving, emotional voyage, he solves a mystery and discovers his own voice -- and with it, a longing for love and human connection.
In a masterful translation that captures the subtle voice, wry humor, visionary power and hypnotic readability of the original, The Great Longing is a rich, evocative novel that introduces America to a gifted writer whose work has already won impressive kudos abroad.

hardcover. Etat : Very Good in Dustjacket. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. First Edition. New York. 1995. Harper Collins. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0060172436. Translated from the Dutch by Stacey Knecht. 211 pages. hardcover. keywords: Europe Netherlands Dutch Literature Translated World Literature. DESCRIPTION - A visionary novel about desire, memory, and love, The Great Longing tells the poignant story of Sam van Dijk, a thirtyish young man who has lost all memory of his childhood up to the age of twelve, when his parents were killed in a mysterious car accident. Alienated and adrift in his life, working as a freelance archivist and living in a warehouse, Sam embarks on a journey of self-discovery through a contemporary landscape often dark and unexpectedly violent. He is alone in the world except for a twin sister, Lisa - the keeper of the family secrets, an artist whose marriage to a man she loves is in trouble - and his restless brother, Raph, a photographer. With these sibling ties as the only stable element in a narrative maelstrom, Sam gradually pieces together haunting shards of memory and retrieves the missing story of his life. In the process he discovers his own voice, and with it a longing for love and human connection. The setting of the novel is contemporary and urban - a Dutch city with its canals and wild nightlife; the cultural references - popular music, the assassination of JFK, the moon landing - are largely American. Marcel Moring's imaginative representation of how memory works is anchored in concrete detail and event, but his prose often soars. Rich in theme and style, with remarkably evocative imagery and impressive narrative control, The Great Longing introduces to this country a gifted writer whose work has already won impressive kudos abroad. inventory #21261.
