«All Souls' Day» is the contemporary novel by Cees Nooteboom, published by Picador in paperback (200 pages, in English).
Arthur Daane, documentary filmmaker and globetrotter, wanders through a Berlin laden with history after losing his wife and son in a plane crash. He plans a self-financed film and converses with friends about memory and metaphysics. Student Elik Orange bursts into his life in an elegiac love story that links the personal and the historical.
The novel was originally published as «Allerzielen» in 1998; this English edition uses the translation by Susan Massotty.
For readers of contemporary literary fiction interested in novels with philosophical, historical, and urban backgrounds.
Cornelis Johannes Jacobus Maria "Cees" Nooteboom was a Dutch novelist, poet and journalist. After the attention received by his novel Rituals, which won the Pegasus Prize, it was the first of his novels to be translated into an English-language edition, published in 1983 by Louisiana State University Press of the United States. LSU Press published his two earlier novels in English in the following years, as well as other works up until 1990. Harcourt and Grove Press have since published some of his works in English.
