Why read it?
1 author picked Summer House with Swimming Pool as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A lot of books by Herman Koch deal with the failures of adulthood and the inexplainable violence of men (i.e., The Dinner).

The complexity of emotion written into Dr. Marc Schlosser’s character is quite a feat, as well as the sharp dry humor throughout the book that deals with serious dark topics.
From Ricardo's list on instilling a fear of men.
