"If, in the future, works of fiction must carry content warnings, this one will require a red alert.(.) But what’s most interesting, and what connects this novel with the others set in wartime (.) are questions of identity, authenticity, and duplicity." - Francine Prose, Harper's " An Untouched House is a trial-by-fire introduction to Hermans’s work.It takes an hour or two to read, but An Untouched House is the kind of book that stays with you for ever." - Sam Jordison, The Guardian "This is a brutal story that’s all the more shocking because it packs its ferocious series of punches into just 80 pages.Previously translated by Estelle Debrot, as The House of Refuge (1961: in the Odyssey Review 1966: in The World of Modern Fiction)Ī- : darkest wartime tale, very well done.
