Loading... Spotvogel (original 2009; edition 2016)by Hafid Bouazza Britt84 | Jan 30, 2017 |   An interesting structure, layer on layer in layer, which made me feel like I got lost in the story while traveling. I usually avoid reading comments or reviews before I take a book. I limit myself to the back of the book that I have in my hands. But, while searching for Gorthoem and Neccor, I came across an interview with the writer. Very interesting! https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2009/04/03/het-moest-als-vogelgezang-zijn-11707839-a25... (  )1  BoekenTrol71 | Aug 11, 2019 | A very short novel, but a pleasant read. The descriptions of the narrator's old home and village are lovely and the warm welcome he receives is touching. He struggles with the past but finally manages to tell us the story of a love affair that was bound to end in tragedy. I very much like Bouazza's use of language - in many parts the writing is poetic and a real pleasure to read. I do feel Bouazza could have expanded the story. The situation of the narrator remains rather vague, and could have been worked out further. (  ) Britt84 | Jan 30, 2017 |  NeerlandistiekBieb | May 18, 2022 | |
