All Souls' Day

In ALL SOULS we follow Arthur Daane, a documentary film maker, as he travels around the streets of Berlin. The city provides the backdrop for Daane's reflections on his life as he plans his latest project - a self-funded film that will show the world through Daane's eyes. The book's cumulative power of remembered images and philosophical musings on the meaning of our contemporary existence infuses Nooteboom's new novel. ALL SOULS is a poignant, deeply affecting novel about a man coming to terms with his own place in the world.
