Critics compared this 450-page novel with Jack Kerouac's worldfamous On the Road and the sad, but also hilarious and sometimes absurd storytelling of John Irving.
In this gripping story, the narrator takes the reader on an intriguing journey through the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s. He doesn’t use chapters for it, but instead twenty different houses in which he supposedly lived over a period of many years. Humorous, tragic and moving events follow one another at a rapid pace. The many references to music give an extra dimension to the story.
The House not only sketches a splendid image of the sixties, seventies, eighties and nineties, it is also an honest and unique story, written in a deceptively "easy" and accessible style. Storytelling at its best.
