Praise
“One of the most entertaining and profound philosophical novels ever written.” –– The Washington Post
“Harry Mulisch is dazzlingly good at the portrayal of intellectual friendship, a kind of relationship too rarely seen in modern fiction. In Max and Onno, he has created, in the manner of Thomas Mann, two fully distinct male characters, each of whom has a cornucopia of alert, offbeat observations to throw off in conversation. “ — The New York Times
“Exhilerating, magnificent, dangerous.” — The Times Literary Supplement (London)
“Mulisch’s bid for a masterpiece works commandingly, on every level. Could be one of the best novels of the last 20 years.” — Kirkus Reviews
“A huge and wonderfully entertaining novel of ideas…that will keep you reading and thinking for a good long run of days and nights.” — Chicago Tribune
“Anyone who reads The Discovery of Heaven will come away enlightened, challenged, and entertained.” –– The Wall Street Journal
