Purification Tom Lanoye

Gideon Rottier is a Einzelgänger with a speech and an exceptional profession. He cleans houses after fire, flood or suicide.
His new colleague, a refugee called Youssef, saves him life. In exchange, Gideon promises to take care of Youssef's family, in a world that seems to be getting more hostile and more violent every day.
Purification is a lanoye pur sang: virtuoso of language and populated with unforgettable characters who compete and love each other, against the background of 'a worn and disintegrating continent'.
A hard and intense book for hard and intense times.
