Description from the seller

Het Bureau is a cycle of seven novels totaling about five thousand pages by Dutch author J.J. Voskuil, and meticulously describes the daily routine at an office based on the Meertens Institute and its predecessor, where the author worked between 1957 and 1987, though the cycle runs through 1989. The first part of Het Bureau appeared in 1996, the last in the year 2000. With the appearance of Het Bureau, a small craze swept through Dutch literary circles.
