A review by jamesc
The Procedure by Harry Mulisch

3.0

I read this in Dutch so I don't know if the English translation is the same. I liked the book but it did not hold together - it is more like a set of essays on the same topic with linked/shared characters. The final section is a novella which is the longest and least satisfying to me - it got to purple in the prose and too proustian in its detail. He's a great writer but this is not his best.
