Customer Reviews

Interesting. You'll read it in two days.

Two Belgian friends travel to Las Vegas for a fornight. But their minds never leave their home-town (Ghent), their families and their friends. Their troubles, repressed up to that date, surfaces...The author (and the translator) have a sound command of the language and a vast vocabulary.
