“Het aanwezige been” is a novel by Dutch-Israeli author Arnon Grunberg, published by Nijgh & Van Ditmar. The work explores themes of identity, displacement, and belonging through the experiences of its protagonist navigating complex personal and social circumstances. Grunberg’s prose is characterised by psychological depth and dark humour, examining the contradictions and absurdities of contemporary life with a detached, observational tone.

“Will you listen?” Sleep Token vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Vessel asks on “Look to Windward,” the opening track from the band’s fourth album. Once again, the masked British phenoms seamlessly blend genres as the song goes from Kid A-era Radiohead to modern R&B to cinematic strings to an explosive metal riff. By now, fans have come to expect these kinds of dramatic shifts from the anonymous group, but Even in Arcadia isn’t just more of the same. It’s an expansion, the widening of an already impressive palette.

Cobb, a skilled thief who commits corporate espionage by infiltrating the subconscious of his targets, is offered a chance to regain his old life as payment for a task considered to be impossible: “inception”, the implantation of another person’s idea into a target’s subconscious.
