«Blauwe maandagen» is the debut novel by Arnon Grunberg, published by Nijgh & Van Ditmar in hardback, in Dutch.
The work focuses on the search for love and the contrast between paternal love and paid love: a tension between family bonds and money as a mediator of affective relationships. The narrative is structured around that opposition.
