Dutch

By Jamie Desplaces

"Poetic, honest, intense, and brilliantly written. The reader will feel the pain." - Readers' Favorite

"Desplaces has talent and an unrelenting narrative thrust that makes the beauty and ugliness of what follows intensely engaging"
- IndieReader

"Bleakness battles hope throughout this gripping tale that will haunt you long after you've thumbed the last page." - 21 Gents

"A nihilistic voyage that’ll make you laugh, wince and weep. It’s one the coolest yarns you’ll ever read." - GearCulture

Dark and brooding, 'dutch' is the story of Zak and Daniel, two brothers whose troubled childhood has plunged them into a life of addiction and psychological trauma. Against the advice of their kind therapist, they flee to Hong Kong where they embark upon a drug and alcohol-fueled rampage.

The journey is heart-breaking, shocking and uncomfortably funny, culminating in a bitter-sweet climax that sees the brothers finally come to terms with the horrors that befell their youth.
