The Discomfort of Evening

Illustrated wrappers with French flaps. Paperback original. Slight chip to tail of spine. Otherwise as new. Scarce first UK printing of Rijneveld’s debut novel which would go on to win The 2020 International Booker Prize.The first printing does not have any mention of the International Booker Prize on the cover (unlike the more common second printing, which has the same ISBN).*** A bestseller in the Netherlands where it was published in 2018 under the title De avond is ongemak, the novel got a huge boost internationally after winning the The 2020 International Booker Prize.
