Arnon Grunberg’s writing tracks the lives of quirky outsider characters as they grapple with the absurdity and despair of love, writing and politics. His work has been translated in 18 languages and he’s won Holland’s top literary prizes. But his path to fame is a tribute to all who try, fail and persevere. At 20, Grunberg was a high school dropout, a failed actor and he worked at a dead-end photocopy job. Twelve years and 15 books later he’s challenging literary and geographic categories with fiction that knows no limits.
