8 28 y separately published work icon Seven Types of Ambiguity Elliot Perlman , ( trans. Ronald Vlek with title Zeven vormen van dubbelzinnigheid ) Amsterdam : De Bezige Bij , 2004 Z1050772 2003 single work novel thriller

'At once a psychological thriller and a social critique, Seven Types of Ambiguity is a novel of obsessive love in an age of obsessive materialism.

'Following years of unrequited love, an out-of-work schoolteacher decides to take matters into his own hands, triggering a chain of events no one could have anticipated.

'This is a story of impulse and paralysis, of empty marriages, lovers and a small boy, gambling and the market, of adult children and their parents, of poetry and prostitution, psychiatry and the law.'
