Round 4: Tossup 12

The protagonist of a novel from this country is convinced by his “double” Dorbeck to follow a sequence of orders supposedly for the “resistance.” Quentin never learns that Max was potentially his real father rather than Onno in a novel from this country whose last section is titled “The End of the End.” That novel from this country describes an angel manipulating events on earth (10[1])to get Quentin to return the Ten Commandments to heaven. A novel that opens “I am a coffee maker” led to this country’s “Ethical Policy,” (-5[1])leading a later (-5[1])author (10[1])to praise that novel as “the book that killed colonialism.” (-5[1])An NRC poll voted Harry Mulisch’s The Discovery of Heaven as the most popular novel from this country. For 10 points, name this country where life in a secret “annex” (10[1])was described (10[2])by Anne Frank. (10[1])■END■ (10[1]0[1])
