Herman Koch: 9. 78. Amazon. com: Books. Amazon Best Books of the Month, February 2. A good unreliable narrator is one of the most satisfying characters a novelist can dream up- -and Herman Koch takes us on a hell of a ride through the mind of Paul Lohman, the deliciously sinister host of The Dinner. Paul's 1. 5- year- old son, Michel, has committed an unspeakable crime; his brother, on the cusp of becoming the Netherlands' next prime minister, has a delicate wife and two teenagers who share Michel’s secret; Paul's wife, Claire, will do anything to protect their boy. As the two couples inch through an excruciating meal at a chic restaurant- -their children's whereabouts uncertain- -Paul peels back the layers of their situation, weaving to and fro through time and truth. Koch's finely structured story gives away just enough on each page to keep us riveted, feeling like private investigators on the verge of discovery, until the shock of an ending.
It's no small feat for the author that the less we trust Paul, the more we want to hear what he has to say. First, Koch has a few false paths to lead us down.
The story starts off casually and unassumingly with a dinner between two brothers, one running for prime minister of the Netherlands, along with their wives at one of Amsterdam’s finest establishments. The other brother, as narrator, sharply ridicules every absurd element of the night to great effect. But just as everything settles in, Koch pivots, and these pointed laughs quickly turn to discussion about their teenage boys and something they’ve done. And it’s at this point when readers will feel two distinct ideologies forming and will face the novel’s vital question: which position to side with?
Koch’s organic style makes for a continuously engaging read that, if anything, leaves readers wanting more. Another 1. 00 pages or so exploring these issues further would have been more than welcome, but what is here will no doubt stir some heady debates.
