Announcing the July 2018 reading challenge: "The Assault"

Question

July has begun, and it is time to announce this month's reading challenge, which is...

The Assault by Harry Mulisch

suggested by Martin Tournoij.

What is a topic challenge?

The topic challenges were started to acquaint the users with literature they may not have been familiar with otherwise. During this month we read the book, and try to post questions about it.

How does the topic challenge work?

If you have a question about the book, simply post it and tag it with the-assault, harry-mulisch, and dutch-literature.

Participation is not obligatory, but those who participate will be listed right here. Needless to say, questions on other books are always welcome as well - they just don't count as a part of this topic challenge.

What's next?

Read the book, and ask questions about it! Also, don't forget to vote for the next challenge here, or propose your own!
