Arnon Grunberg - Spatzki [mini-verhaal in: Avenue Box Jaargang 1, Nr. 4: Amsterdam The Scenes] - Amsterdam - De Geïllustreerde Pers BV - [April] 1994 - 1st edition - Stapled wrappers in box - 23 x 29 cm. - Design: Marise Clason & René Abbühl.

Condition: Good - COMPLETE. The box has some wear. Glossy magazine edited by Harriet Calo, about fashion, culture, lifestyle and literature. Illustrated in COLOUR. This is an Amsterdam Special. Collectors item. Together with 6 other items in a folding box:

1. Avenue 'krant'; 2. Jan Rot zingt Paradiso 45 rpm single; 3. Metz & Co map of Amsterdam; 4. R&C fake diamond; 5. Vincent van Gogh napkins (design Anki Posthumus); 6. 'Mysterieuze cadeaubon'.

¶ The 'krant' contains contributions from, among others, Theodor Holman (about football and Ajax) and Gert Jonkers (about the Gay scene). On p. 22 we find Grunberg's story (with portrait photo by Bas Brüggen). The character 'Spatzki' was based on the Amsterdam businessman Mozes A. Staszewski who unsolicitedly reprinted the story in 2006 for a New Year's gift. This 'roofdruk' was subsequently authorized and Grunberg even wrote a sequel a year later (Moses luistert). Cf. Wuijts B3.11; A80.
