Round 5: 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 to get (10[1])Quentin to return the Ten Commandments to heaven. A novel that opens “I am a coffee maker” led to this country’s “Ethical Policy,” leading a later author to praise that novel as “the book that killed colonialism.” An NRC poll voted Harry Mulisch’s The Discovery (10[1])of Heaven as the most popular novel from this country. For 10 points, name this country where life in a secret “annex” was described (10[1])by Anne Frank. ■END■ (10[1])
