Doom is constantly roaming the earth, ready to strike. And stike it does, mercilessly. Harry Mulisch is a great writer, and The discovery of Heaven an incredible mental journey. I am in the middle of it, this is just me poking out my head from that other place, saying hello. Although it does not really register with me, i think perhaps i will find this hello to hello some time in the future and look back at this moment. When i do not know the end of it. Blissful ignorance!
