About the book: 2020 / This novel is a continuation of the diary of Hendrik Grun, a kind and witty resident of an Amsterdam care home. After a year of mourning, Grun takes up his pen again, sharing funny and sad observations, thoughts about himself and others, about the modern world, about life and death. The Old-But-Not-Dead Life Club welcomes new friends and renews its resistance to weakness, despondency and stupidity. The “political” struggle over the future of the almshouse is also intensifying.
