    • Nejvyzrálejší román populárního belgického autora, za který mimo jiné získal prestižní čtenářskou cenu, souběžně vypráví dva příběhy, jejichž jediným spojovacím článkem je zpočátku jen fakt, že se oba odehrávají v bytě ve čtvrtém patře. Zápletka se zajímavě zamotává a postavy si kladou aktuální otázky (jak uživím rodinu, kde seženu byt a práci), jež jsou v rámci autorovy groteskní poetiky často dovedeny ad absurdum a vyvolávají mrazivý smích i vedou k zamyšlení nad dnešním světem.
