Dubbelspel by Frank Martinus Arion
This book is about four men playing their usual game of domino on a Sunday afternoon at Curacao. They are dreaming about the future, but also thinking about the past. Two of them have a (mostly sexual) relation with the wives of the others. Furthermore they are poor and two of them are kind of busy with building their house.
The story is interessting as I'm quite curious after the Dutch Antilles. On the other hand, the story is slightly slow and that doesn't work for me. But it was an enjoyable read with an unexpected ending.
