Arnon Grunberg

Choice

2011

In the summer of 2006 I traveled with the Dutch army to Afghanistan.
I wrote a series of articles about my experiences with the Dutchy army, which became the first installment of my collection of articles titled “Grunberg Among the People”.
In the summer of 2007 I worked undercover as a chambermaid in Bavaria.
In the summer of 2008 I worked undercover as a steward in Swiss dining cars.
In the summer of 2009 I worked undercover as a masseur in a Romanian resort.
And this summer I will go on a holiday with a family unknown to me and I will write about this experience. (To avoid misunderstandings: the family is very much aware that I’m going to publish articles about our journey.)
The weekend of June 3rd auditions were held in a suite at the Holiday Inn in Amsterdam.
This afternoon I made my choice.
It wasn’t easy at all. I had the suspicion that one family was interested in a threesome – I was tempted to take the risk and choose this family.
But then I thought: let’s do the sex holiday in 2011.
