Niet echt een roman, maar een verhalen- en essaybundel met enkele verbindende elementen, zoals de scheepvaart. Het eerste en het laatste verhaal (resp. over hoe het er aan toeging op de ark van Noach en hoe het in de hemel is) zijn het magistraalst. Ook mooi zijn de dagboeknotities van een schipbreukelinge annex psychiatrisch patiënte. De essays zijn echter uitermate zwak.
I'll never hear the word "woodworm" again without snickering.

“Not that myth refers us back to some original event which has been fancifully transcribed as it passed through the collective memory; but that it refers us forward to something that will happen, that must happen. Myth will become reality, however sceptical we might be.”

Had a lovely email exchange about this book with my high school history teacher - five years after I graduated.
