Bog beskrivelse

Washed up far from home at the bitter end of the ‘70s, Paul spends an ordinary morning travelling to work at the Rotterdam container port and back into the city that evening to work his second job at a burger bar. As the day passes, his mind travels from his childhood in the UK, to an ill-fated love affair on an Left Bank kibbutz, and back to the chance of love in the present. Paul tries to unravel tangled knots of biography, the hopes and disappointments of a short life that still holds future and promise. But, as the torch is put to the last remnants of the hippie dreams he put up with and the harsh 80s economic winter begins to make itself in the frigid cold of a Dutch winter’s day, Paul’s problems are as much philosophical and political as they are personal and ethical.

Mixing poignant, slice-of-life narrative with sinuous, deeply argued reflections on a life lived amidst the first brush fires of Consumerism, and asking questions as universal as they demand different answers from each of us, David Batten’s Rotterdam is an absorbing, thought-provoking brush with the textures, heartbreaks and dilemmas of ordinary life, part novel, part autobiography, part ethical tract, individualistic and thoroughly humanist.
