Pipelines in English. More information on De Haan and his work at the GL Review.
De Haan wrote a sequel to the book but the manuscript was never published and is assumed lost or destroyed.
The main characters' original names, Joop and Sam, referred to de Haan and to Arnold Aletrino, to whom De Haan dedicated the book. Aletrino disliked this and attempted to buy out copies of the book to remove it from circulation.
