The Procedure

First UK edition; first printing. Hardback in dust jacket. Toning to leaves as usual. *** Harry Mulisch’s first publication since his magnum opus The Discovery of Heaven and first published in the Netherlands as De procedure in 1998. Translated by Paul Vincent. *** Mixing myth, religion and philosophy with good old-fashioned story telling, Mulisch is often seen as the Dutch equivalent to Umberto Eco. The Procedure – a thrilling and mysterious retelling of the Frankenstein story – was his last great novel before his death in 2010. The book won the Libris Literatuur Prijs.
