Description:
Using unique material, Robbert Ammerlaan reconstructs the most important events and developments in the life and work of Harry Mulisch: his relationship with his parents, the departure of his mother, the war years, the death of his father, the discovery of his writing, his loves and friendships, the creation of his most important works, the relationship with his colleagues, the birth of his children.
His Own Country is above all a biographical travelogue: the account of an experience, of an adventurous quest in Mulisch's literary laboratory – a journey that brings new facts to light, provides explanations, makes surprising discoveries, explores uncharted territory and unearths unknown treasures.
During his lifetime, Harry Mulisch was a striking public figure who garnered admiration but also aroused antipathy, who was very visible but remained unknown and elusive to most.
