Herman Koch's Dear Mr. M is a tricky, subversive novel that offers a little bit of everything: a mystery, an exploration of the role of the novel and novelist, a young adult novella, and more of the corrosive misanthropy that made The Dinner and Summer House with Swimming Pool so popular. The second of his books in English was a bit of a repeat of the first, but Dear Mr. M successfully strikes out for new territory.
