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
