Alleen maar nette mensen

David Samuels grew up in a respectable Jewish household in Oud-Zuid, Amsterdam's affluent district, and his dark hair often gets him taken for a Moroccan. While his friends move on to university, he sets out to find a streetwise black girlfriend from the rough side of town, and with him the reader crosses the colour line. Brief chapters, broken-off thoughts, chats and text messages carry the story.
