About the Author:
Willem Frederik Hermans (1921-1995) is widely considered perhaps the most important Western European author to emerge from the postwar period. His novels, short stories, essays, and philosophical and scientific writings represent a major body of work being discovered in the United States.
Review:
"I plunged into this novel intimidated at first by its length, then astonished to find myself unable to put it down. For this is a thriller, a long chain of event during which the suspense never flags... exact and dry, rich in detail but fast-moving, frighteningly real yet verging on the incredible." -- Milan Kundera
"Striking, suspenseful...Brilliant" -- The Obsever
