About the Author:
Hans Koning is a prolific and critically acclaimed author who has served as a staff reporter for the New Yorker and Atlantic Monthly. In addition, he has published 13 novels, several of which have been made into movies, 10 non-fiction books, three plays, two translations, and a children’s book. Koning’s newest novel, Zeeland, or Elective Concurrences, has also been published by NewSouth Books.
From Library Journal:
Released in 1958 and 1960, respectively, these are Koning's first and second novels. Both illustrate misguided relationships: as the title indicates, The Affair concerns the budding-and fleeting-passion between two lovers, while the latter book takes the next step: a couple marry after a three-week courtship only to find that the thrill of the chase is more satisfying than the actual catch. NewSouth is reprinting all of Koning's novels, so look for future titles in this series.
