Na The Independent roept ook Foyles (de mooiste boekhandel van Londen) Bonita Avenue, de debuutroman van Peter Buwalda, uit tot het beste boek van 2014!
The Independent sprak reeds lovend over Bonita Avenue: ’the addictive bedlam of Bonita Avenue by Dutch novelist Peter Buwalda (Pushkin, £12.99). Siem Sigerius is an intellectual icon and patriarch of a family for whom “dysfunction” seems an understatement. The twisted central twist – how Sigerius’s taste for pornography explodes close to home – is typical of Buwalda’s messy marriage of realism and chaos theory. Bonita Avenue deserves to be a book, not just a debut, of the year.
En nu heeft ook Foyles de roman ontdekt: ‘Bonita Avenue is a masterpiece of characterisation and one of the first great European novels of the 21st century’.
