Dear Mister M

Some of the characters in this book, Dear Mr. M, are downright creepy and stalkerish.  The story is set in the Netherlands at a high school.  One of the teachers is a Mr. Landzaat and Mr. Landzaat has serious boundary issues.  Mister M. isn't at the school but he writes a novel about what happened with Mr. Landzaat and several of the students. The narrator is a man who writes letters to Mister M. Information is doled out carefully and with precision by the author, Herman Koch. Despite the contemptible characters in the book, the interesting twist in the end makes it worth taking the time to read it.
