Description

Rupert has been accused of a terrible crime, and his imagined defense begins the night he met the love of his life, Mira. By turns shockingly honest, incredibly funny, and clearly unhinged, Rupert's defense is a mixture of rants and rhetoric, ending with a full confession to his depravity. In the vein of Neil LaBute's In the Company of Men.

Reviews

" The author insinuates crisp, titillating description and delights in relaying voyeurism, presenting a deliberate provocation to readers."--Publishers Weekly

"Rupert is an astonishing work of art. Astonishing in its imaginative force, its adventurous concept and its just as daring denouement. . . . Phew, what language, what a book. Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer is a writer to cherish."--Elsevier

"This novel belongs to the tradition of classical literature which is in principle self-referential. . . . Rupert is a playful, exceptionally witty, ironic variant of this."--Telegraaf (Amsterdam)
