Titaantjes and De Uitvreter by the Dutch writer Nescio (J. H. F. Grönloh, 1881-1961), published by Nijgh & Van Ditmar of Gravenhage between 1956 and 1969: These two long stories detail the minor victories and defeats that make Dutch middle-class life so bleak and comical. The details are all tiny, exquisitely understated and dry, much like Emanuel Bove's My Friends, with the same silent undercurrent of hope.
