Harry Mulisch at the Complete Review

the complete review's Opinion      The prolific Dutch author Harry Mulisch is unquestionably among the leading authors of the second half of the twentieth century.
. . .
Much of his powerful non-fiction would undoubtedly also be of interest to an English-speaking audience.
. . .

. . .
(...) Mulisch’s extravagance elicits an equal extravagance in his eulogists and critics.
. . .
Particularly refreshing is his attitude towards morality: questions of it are almost always at the forefront of his work, but he never imposes easy answers, or gives the reader an easy way out.

Siegfried - Harry Mulisch - Complete Review - Entrance to the ...

- Return to top of the page - The complete review's Review:        Siegfried begins as the story of Rudolf Herter, an internationally renowned Dutch author (bearing a striking similarity to Harry Mulisch), arriving in Vienna on a brief publicity tour that culminates in a reading at the National Library.
. . .
The biographical similarities between author and author are worth mentioning, because they also play a role in the fiction itself (as in much of Mulisch's other autobiographically coloured work): an Austrian heritage behind the Dutch citizenship, a father who was too close to the Nazis in occupied Holland, grand works (including the magnum opus, here The Invention of Love rather than Mulisch's The Discovery of Heaven).
. . .
Because it was deemed unacceptable for Hitler to have a child at that time the Falks had to pretend he was theirs.
. . .
Es ist kein brillant geschriebenes Buch, es arbeitet recht sorglos mit den Versatzstücken des konventionellen Romans, aber das ist vielleicht die Voraussetzung dafür, dass man seine Lektüre zutraulich genug beginnt, um sich im Irrgarten der Konstruktion zu verfangen.
. . .
(...) Mulisch remains a playful writer, sparking fiction against history, fact against imagination.
. . .
The novel could have used a bit more exposition Still: a very solid work, and a fine read.

Harry Mulisch, Dutch Novelist, Dies at 83 - NYTimes.com

Despite, or because of, the novel’s many layers of intellectual inquiry, it became a best seller and was voted “the best Dutch-language book ever” by Dutch readers in a 2007 newspaper poll.
. . .
The two main male characters in the book are consummate intellectuals like Mr. Mulisch himself.
. . .
“But for me he was a model of discipline and courage, a man who dedicated his entire life to literature and ideas; and he could afford to be generous to other writers because he was on the top of the pile.” In several interviews with The New York Times, Mr. Mulisch said that the Dutch, a nation of avid readers and talented writers, needed a Dutch author to win the Nobel Prize in Literature to draw attention to the country’s literary activity.
. . .
This is the end of an era.” Mr. Mulisch received many literary awards at home and abroad.

Profile: Harry Mulisch | Books | The Guardian

The resulting book - published in Dutch as De zaak 40/ 61, is still not translated into English, though a French translation, L'Affaire 40/61, has just come out - sees Eichmann not as the embodiment of evil but just as a "policeman, and he did what all policemen do: they obey orders".
. . .
But Mulisch's first real international success returned to the war years.
. . .
The English critic and novelist Paul Binding, who has met Mulisch and has a passion for Dutch literature, describes The Assault as "superb".
. . .
Love, and a lesbian relationship, rather than war, were the subject of his 1975 novel, translated as Two Women in 1978 (and filmed as Twice a Woman, directed by George Sluizer, in 1981).

You had cellars, but..." So he decided to write a book about an American war criminal.

Suzanne Holtzer, his Dutch editor for 10 years, says he "enjoys playing that game".

Anton is brought up by an uncle and aunt in Amsterdam and represses his memories of that night.
. . .
The Assault is an intense and powerful work -- for some it may be uncomfortably so -- but one that is also hard to put down.
. . .
Though Anton remains uninterested in politics, it forms the inescapable background to his story: the ethics of using violence to resist fascism, anti-communist riots in 1956, the release on sickness grounds of a leading war criminal, and anti-war rallies in 1981.
