- More about Ditch
From the author of the internationally bestselling The Dinner, a dark and gripping novel about how even the most stable of people can be undone by jealousy.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 352 pages

Publisher: Pan Macmillan
Longlisted for the Dublin Literary Award 2021, Herman Koch has established a career by saying what seems unutterable. The Financial Times has praised his work, stating that he has a talent for saying the seemingly unspeakable.
When Robert Walter, the popular mayor of Amsterdam, notices his wife throwing her head back in laughter while chatting with one of his aldermen at a New Year's reception, he immediately suspects she is cheating on him. Though happily married, he has always wondered why Sylvia, born and raised in a distant country, chose him.
Soon afterward, a journalist unearths an old photograph of a police officer being beaten up by three Vietnam War protesters, one of whom she claims is Robert. Just as unexpectedly, Robert's 94-year-old father announces that he and his wife would rather end their lives than burden their son with their deteriorating health. Once stable and successful, Robert becomes entangled in his fears and suspicions, consumed by jealousy and paranoia. Nothing is as it seems, or is Robert finally beginning to see the world and his life as they are, for the first time?
Written with Herman Koch's trademark originality, playfulness, and edge, and translated from Dutch, The Ditch is a wildly clever and guttingly familiar story of a man whose sadistic skill for undermining himself and his marriage comes to cost him nearly everything.
