Books Go Social
Recommended Read of the Week!
Tight, taut and shocking,
these stories all have warped love as the source of violence. Belgian/Flemish
author, Bob Van Laerhoven, winner of the USA Best Book Award 2014 in the
category “Mystery/Suspense” and the Hercule Poirot Prize with his controversial
novel, Baudelaire’s Revenge, connects the fate of individuals with profound
social changes. Van Laerhoven has been a travel writer in conflict-zones from
1990 until 2003 and echos of his experiences trickle through these confronting
and thrilling tales, set in civil war-torn Algeria in the fifties, in a gypsy
populated Polish concentration-camp during WWII, in a Peruvian border-town
where stealing is a deadly art, in Liberia during the civil war in the
nineties, and in Belgian Congo during the bloody uproar in the sixties. Omnia
vincit amor—Love conquers all—the saying goes. But not our Dangerous
Obsessions.
