    the name of a person, in this case, of a fictional person:

    frits (name) van egters (last name)

    Gerard Reve

    The evenings (De avonden)

    When the novel De avonden first appeared, Reve was hailed as ‘the voice of a generation’. Since then the book has become a modern classic, continuing to appeal to each succeeding generation. The book revolves around Frits van Egters, twenty-three years old and with a boring office job. The ten chapters depict the last ten days of the year Frits spends with his family, office colleagues and friends.

    Van Egters observes his middle-class parents – he still lives at home – with a mixture of compassion and ruthless precision. It is the business-like commentary on the interminably boring daily rituals and the nasty practical jokes he and his friends play that make the story so funny, although the humour has a double edge. Frits’s nightmares, his constant registration of the hopeless passage of time and his declaration of love to the only one who can ease his loneliness, a stuffed toy rabbit, are from another world.

    De avonden is a novel in which a young man attempts to exorcise the meaninglessness of his existence, just as the author has tried to do through his literary work.
