Tonio: een requiemroman

The novel's structure and tone evoke a deep sense of mourning and reflection. I'm curious whether this was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

The portrayal of grief felt very personal and intense, but I wondered if others connected with it on a similar level or found it more detached.

The prose often feels lyrical yet accessible. I'm interested in how the writing style developed and what influences shaped it.
