In Herman Koch's "The Dinner," two couples meet at a fashionable restaurant in Amsterdam to discuss a troubling situation involving their teenage sons. As the evening progresses, the conversation shifts from polite small talk to increasingly tense revelations about a crime committed by the boys. Over the course of their meal, the true nature of familial loyalty, morality, and social status is explored. The story delves into dark themes, exposing the characters’ hidden motivations and the lengths to which parents will go to protect their children, ultimately questioning the boundaries of right and wrong in a morally complex world.
