AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Boris Rousseeuw’s intention was to publish Arnon Grunberg’s unpublished plays one by one through his De Carbolineum Pers—Boris insisted that the imprint include that D. The Grim Reaper would throw a spanner in the works.
So it came to just the first play to appear, ‘De dupe van Felix’, from 1988, published in 2024, four years before Grunberg’s novel debut, ‘Blauwe Maandagen’. At Boris’s request, Grunberg also wrote an extensive foreword, in which he briefly mentions the conflict he had with the designer of the poster (used here as the cover), Winston Delano Citroen.
Given its considerable length of 12,300 words, the play was not hand-set and printed, but produced digitally. It was printed on lovely cream laid paper, then bound and slipped into a special ‘box’ (with the title of the play on its spine).
The edition comprises 50 numbered and signed copies, of which X were for contributors and 40 for sale. This is number 28, signed and bound in the recipient’s name.
