Commentary As Books Nooit meer slapen

Nooit meer slapen is het meesterlijke verhaal van de jonge geoloog Alfred Issendorf, die in het moerassige noorden van Noorwegen onderzoek wil verrichten om de hypothese van zijn leermeester en promotor Sibbelee te staven. Issendorf is ambitieus: hij hoopt dat hem op deze reis iets groots te wachten staat, dat zijn naam aan een belangrijk wetenschappelijk feit zal worden verbonden. Deze ambitie hangt samen met het verlangen het werk van zijn vader, die door een ongeluk tijdens een onderzoekstocht om het leven kwam, te voltooien. Nooit meer slapen is een grootse roman over grote dromen.

Finished: 29.09.2018Genre: novelRating: C+#20BooksOfAutumnConclusion:Dutch is my second language. It is time I started 20 books by Dutch authors considered 20th C must reads.W.F. Hermans is the first one on the list. Review

"Beyond Sleep" is an existentialist book strongly influenced by a masculine Kafkaesque tone, but then spiced up with some low key deadpan dry humour.It essentially revolves around an average scientist who wants to make it big - partly to make his father proud - only to find out, in the face of the pure and tough nature of Norwegian Finnmark, that he is just that, average - or at least, just human. A wonderful conclusion and a wonderful journey to witness.

Half road movie half bildungroman; a Dutch student on an research trip, where "trip" is learning experience about what research constitutes. Paranoia about unhelpful peers and mentors (portrait of blind professor in Oslo and hostility between Dutch and Norwegian scholars). Physicality of trip displaces the object of research. Irony at the end: possible account of what he has been looking all along and does not see when it appears (meteorite). Death of companion and entries in his journal turns

Ugh, hated this book.It was boring with a very annoying main character and I don't think I will ever pick up another book by this author.School made me read it and also helped me realize why I almost never read any book willingly during high school. Most of these ''Dutch literature'' books are just not my thing and bore me to death...

Gelezen voor Group Read #30 van de Netherlands & Flanders group. Zie onder ander bericht #17 aldaar.What an incredibly good book this is... It's extremely well-written; a truly great command of language.Id read De donkere kamer van Damokles (The Darkroom of Damocles), the book Willem Frederik Hermans is probably most famous for, a couple of years ago but Nooit meer slapen (Beyond Sleep), published some eight years later, is far better in my opinion.Nooit meer slapen tells the story of Alfred

To be honest I'm not a big fan of dutch literature, but I actually enjoyed this book. Although the story started of slow, it slowly started to develop until I was really intrigued by the story line. What made the book special in my opinion was the fact that everything you could think of was written down. For example, when Alfred is walking 25 kilometers and starts to get tired, he counts his steps and is encouraging himself to continue his journey. Every normal person does this (at least I think
