Inpakken en Wegwezen by David Colmer
The thing with short stories from different authors is, that you can't possibly like all of them. This book is obviously an attempt by the publisher to bring less well-known authors under the attention of the readers. The stories by Midas Dekkers I liked, of course and there were some other very nice stories in there too.
Some stories however were too difficult for me, and I even studied literature. I don't understand why authors want to appear so intelligent that their stories become show more unreadable. I am sure I will not read the entire book again.
Conclusion: the writing of short stories is an art in itself and not every author masters it. show less
