DESCRIPTION - Alfonso Tiburon de Mendoza, the narrator of Cees Nooteboom's fifth novel, is Inspector of the Roads in the Spanish province of Zaragoza, part of the ancient kingdom of Aragon. Each August, during his holiday, Tiburon, retires to an empty, dusty schoolroom, wedges his aging, portly body into a child's desk, and indulges in the only luxury of his life: he writes. The story he tells is not set amid the silver olive trees and loam-colored plains of his native Spain but in the Netherlands, which in Tiburon's imagination becomes a vast country, spreading southward from Amsterdam to the highest peaks and passes of Europe. Tiburon's story centers on Kai and Lucia, an innocent - one might almost say perfect - couple, the blameless children of circus performers who themselves become show people, basing their act on the magic of illusion. As the story of Kai and Lucia unfolds, it takes on an illusive quality of its own, assuming the form of a fairy tale. Kai and Lucia are forced to leave their home in the North for less hospitable regions to the south. One night Lai is spirited mysteriously from the theatre in which he and Lucia are performing by a woman known as the Snow Queen. Lucia then enlists the aid of a clown in searching for Kai. The final sequence of the tale, in which the two are reunited, takes place in a snowy woods outside a remote castle - a scene reminiscent of the tales of the Brothers Grimm. As in Nooteboom's previous novels, IN THE DUTCH MOUNTAINS works on a variety of levels. Tiburon, the creator of the fable of Kai and Lucia, punctuates his narrative with direct addresses to the reader on the relation of art to life, the nature of myth and truth, and the purpose of illusion in the world. inventory #2620.
