Belgium - Where were you last Pluterday? - Paul Van Herck

How did I find the book?
Finding a Belgian science fiction author was pretty easy, Paul Van Herck's name just kept popping up. Getting a copy of Where were you last Pluterday was a little harder and fairly expensive! But about £18 and a few weeks later the book arrived on my doormat.

The Physical Book:
Very odd and busy cover art which perfectly mirrors the content of the book. The artwork and title don't appeal to me, and would make me want to buy the book. But that's OK. I'm not collecting pieces of art, I'm collecting stories from around the world

The Story:

The book itself is very funny and really weird. I mean science fiction is meant to be weird. But this is weird on scale usually reserved for hitch hikers guide to the galaxy. The concept of building up so many extra hours in a day that a completely new day appears on your personal calendar in a kind of separate dimension, is hard to explain. But the concept became surprisingly easy to grasp and accept inside of the covers!
