In 1980 publiceerde Cees Nooteboom zijn roman Rituelen, een boek dat zou uitgroeien tot een moderne klassieker en bovendien tot een van de meest vertaalde boeken uit de Nederlandse literatuur. Het werd in 1989 verfilmd en ontving de F. Bordewijk-prijs en in Amerika de Pegasus Prize for Literature.Inni Wintrop, de hoofdpersoon, is nadat zijn vrouw hem heeft verlaten en na een mislukte zelfmoordpoging, op zoek naar betekenis in een leeg universum. Nooteboom schetst een tijdsbeeld van de jaren zestig en zeventig in een subtiele en luisterrijke roman, die bijna dertig jaar na dato alleen maar aan zeggingskracht heeft gewonnen.

More About Rituelen

When Sartre says man has been thrown into the world, he is alone, there is no God, we are responsible for what we are, what we do, I say yes!"The affirmative echoed around the woods. The dog pricked up his ears. This man has no one to talk to, thought Inni."But when he then asks me to be responsible for the world as well, for others, I say no! No. Why should I be? 'When man chooses himself, he chooses all men.' Why? I have not asked for anything. I have nothing to do with the vermin I see around me. I live out my time because I have to, that is all.... Wij hebben het nu over jou. Vergeet niet, ik ben notaris geweest. Ik maak die dingen altijd af. Wat wil jij worden?''Ik weet het niet.'Hij begreep dat dat geen goed antwoord was, maar het was het enige, zelfs als iemand graag altijd alles afmaakte. Hij had geen flauw idee. Eigenlijk wist hij zeker dat hij nooit iets wou, maar ook nooit iets z worden. De wereld was al boordevol met mensen die iets waren, en de meesten waren er duidelijk niet gelukkig mee. Cees Nooteboom, Rituals He read a lot, but what he read, and not just that but everything he saw, films and paintings, he translated into feeling. And this feeling, which could not immediately be expressed in words, not yet and maybe never, that formless mass of sentiments, impressions, observations that was his way of thinking. You could circle around it with words, but there always remained far more that was not expressed than was. And later, too, a certain resentment would take possession of him, toward those people who demanded precise answers, or pretended to be able...

Voor de derde keer gelezen en weer die magische ervaring. Wat een prachtig boek. Deze roman zet je aan het denken over het leven (en de dood). Kun je meer verlangen? Nooteboom, mijn favoriete Nederlandse schrijver. 2016: Voor de vierde keer gelezen voor een leeskring. En wederom werd ik na het eerste hoofdstuk, dat altijd wat moeite... I purchased "Rituals" because raku pottery plays an important role in this book. It was a quick read, but not a painless one. A bit like sitting on your knees for tea ceremony. A bit bitter, like lower grade usucha tea, the first part of the ceremony. Interestingly enough, the author does not describe the second part of the tea ceremony... This book baffles me. Cees Nooteboom is a Dutch writer who is sometimes touted for the Noble Prize. I've read only one of his books before, "The Following Story," which I liked a great deal. "Rituals" is often considered to bebetter. But it did not engage me much, and I'm not sure that I really understood it. Here's a try. Amsterdam,...
