Thanks to Arjen for introducing me to this book! It's originally in Dutch and there is also a movie, so I'm really curious who, of my readers, has heard of this book. We read it quite fast, it wasn't that long, but I enjoyed it a lot. The writing style and humor were things that stood out to me.

Definitely a piece of Dutch Literature that I would recommend anyone to read. You get through it quite quick and the choice of words and the humor balanced out with the heavy topics are like nothing I've ever seen. Definitely a book that will leave you laughing out loud, but also pondering several heavy subjects.

Over het algemeen is het boek zeer goed geschreven en ik kan zien waarom veel mensen het een geweldig boek vinden. Alleen is het geen boek voor mij. Ik ben niet zo'n fan van biografieën.

Türkiye’de yaşayan insanlar olarak “doğduğun ev kaderindir” veya “coğrafya kaderdir” gibi lafları sık sık duymaya alışkınız. İstesek de istemesek de kendi kaderimizi yazmayı becerebilsek de içinde büyüdüğümüz aile, ülke, edindiğimiz çevre kim olduğumuzu ve nasıl yaşadığımızı etkiliyor bence. Çölde Kutup Ayısı da bunun örneklerinden biri. Belçikalı yazar Dimitri Verhulst, filme de uyarlanan kısmen otobiyografik romanında içinde büyüdüğü aileyi anlatıyor. Çölde Kutup Ayısı hikayesi pek çok yerde Shameless dizisiyle karşılaştırılmış. Okuduğunuzda ve/veya izlediğinizde neden böyle yaptıklarını anlayacaksınız: her ikisi de sürekli “yok artık; bu olmuş olamaz!” dedirtip duruyor insana. Büyük bir kısmını 13 yaşındaki Gunther’ın ağzından okuduğumuz hikâye b*k, bira ve leşlik kokuyor.

Gunther, babası, üç amcası ve babaannesi ile birlikte aynı evde yaşıyor. Strobbe ailesinin hayattaki amacı bol bol içki içmek, sarhoş olmak, gönül eğlendirmek ve toplumun gerektirdiği tüm kurallara karşı koyarak, kafalarına göre yaşamak!
