On the war monument there are four rows (p. 73). Anton reads “the last row,” with six names. How do you get from 24 names (4×6) to 31 names?

Hi Patricia,
Well, I’m so sorry for my late reply to your question. I keep forgetting about it and then remembering when I’m driving or doing something else away from the book and my computer. I just checked and in the book there is no mention of 31 names, just that there are four columns. I must have taken that from Harry Mulisch: De Mythische Formule and in that book it must have been a mistake. I borrowed the book at the time of writing this paper, so I can’t look up how the 31 names were mentioned. But either way, they were not mentioned in De Aanslag or in the translation. So my bad. I’ll take it out of the text.

Thanks: I’m actually just about to teach the novel again, so your timing was perfect.

I’m glad! Both that it helps and that you’re teaching The Assault to begin with.
