A man named Inni Wintrop reviews his life as he crosses paths with Arnold Taads, an eccentric aristocrat fascinated by death, and with Philip Taads, a Zen Buddhist monk. Through these two opposing perspectives, the novel explores the role of rituals in existence and the way they order everyday life.

For readers of contemporary European fiction with an interest in introspective novels.
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.
