Rituals is a novel by the renowned author Cees Nooteboom, which explores existential anguish through three interconnected stories. Inni Wintrop, a dilettante wandering through Amsterdam, Arnold Taads, a man subject to an inviolable routine, and his son Philip, who turns to Zen philosophy, represent different ways of facing the horror of existence and death. The novel, adapted into film in 1988, has been awarded the Bordewijk and Pegasus prizes, and selected as one of the best Dutch novels of the last ten years.
Cornelis Johannes Jacobus Maria "Cees" Nooteboom was a Dutch novelist, poet and journalist. After the attention received by his novel Rituals, which won the Pegasus Prize, it was the first of his novels to be translated into an English-language edition, published in 1983 by Louisiana State University Press of the United States. LSU Press published his two earlier novels in English in the following years, as well as other works up until 1990. Harcourt and Grove Press have since published some of his works in English.
