In the Dutch Kluun's brutal roman à clef, Dan and Carmen van
Diepen are successful professionals in their 30s, raising their
young daughter in Amsterdam's suburbs while still partying
zestfully, when Carmen's diagnosis with an aggressive form of
breast cancer puts her life on hold. Dan, who narrates, soon rages
against the incompetence and insensitivity of the doctors treating
Carmen, and the couple alternate between manic joy and terror as
they realize Carmen won't live to see their daughter, Luna, grow
up. At the same time, confirmed club hound Dan pursues numerous
infidelities, comments on his greatly diminished affection for his
stricken wife and offers few apologies. As Carmen grows
increasingly ill, they learn to forgive each other's faults, and
Dan takes on the heavy burden of Carmen's decline. The final
chapters find Carmen, Dan and their colorful cohort of yuppie
friends pulling together to support Carmen's decision to end her
life with dignity. Kluun's novel was a bestseller in Europe, and
the translation is poignant, humorous and very graphic on the
cancer. Kluun's take on marriage may be too European for the
States, but his lacerating portraits of the medical establishment
will certainly hit home. (Aug.)

Ray Kluun (Kluun to his friends) was a marketing man in a
previous life. In 2001 he lost his 36-year-old wife to cancer.
Kluun took his daughter Eva (then three years old) to Australia and
wrote Love Life, which became a massive word-of-mouth bestseller in
Europe, selling 500,000 copies. He has also written a work of
satire, Help, I Got My Wife Pregnant, and a bestselling sequel to
Love Life, entitled The Widower, which describes the journey
through Australia with his daughter in a camper van as they deal
with their loss.
