Thus - Nooteboom has made the plot of Rituals symmetrical. He has given it the ultimate order out of chaos. Perhaps Nooteboom is trying to suggest some theological irony that goes beyond the novel's pages. Indeed, Rituals does possess discourse on religion - as well as art, the economy, family, Amsterdam, sex, loneliness. It is evidence of Nooteboom's mastery that such a brief book contains such a small, yet perfectly structured universe. Highly recommended.
