Condon has moved to Amsterdam. He
got married, and he’s unemployed
(what’s worse, so is his wife).
He's back and funnier than ever,
this time exploring the strange habits
of
the Dutch. He also keeps a watchful
and wonderfully self-deprecating
eye on the
whole strange business of writing
about yourself doing, well, nothing
much, in
this post-modern age. Condon's uncanny
ability to find the absurd in everyday
life misses nothing and My ‘Dam
Life will strike a side-splitting
chord with anyone who has ever been unemployed,
been married or tried not to be deported
from a foreign land.
