A.M Homes in Leuven
book launch of the Dutch translation of 'The Unfolding'
In The Unfolding, American author A.M. Homes draws an impressive, ominous and hilarious portrait of a family that wants to live without lies, in a world where the establishment goes all out in blocking changes and progress.
Big Guy loves his family, his money and his country. The election result of 2008 - the loss of John McCain - is a big shock and - out of anger and frustration - Big Guy gathers a group of like-minded men to restore his version of the American Dream.
"A terrific black comedy, written almost entirely in pitch-perfect dialogue, that feels terrifyingly close to the unfunny truth." (Salman Rushdie)
