cees nooteboom : "A writer is a person who writes
about countries which do not exist. Or about countries which do exist but which
they furnish with mountains that do not
exist...."

reviewed nooteboom's book in the dutch
mountains for the the new york review of books
:
"Nooteboom's ambition is to write a
meditation on the nature of fiction, constructed as a story of the writing of a
fiction with authorial digressions that will at the same time reflect on (and
reflect) the collapse, in our time, of the illusions that gave energy to the
great fiction of the past."
