Rituals (Dutch: Rituelen) is a 1980 novel by Dutch writer Cees Nooteboom. The novel's narrative follows two friends, one who breaks rules frequently and one who follows them strictly. It was Nooteboom's first novel in 17 years. After finishing The Knight Has Died (1963), he had worked as a journalist, written poetry, and traveled around the world, "looking for something to write about". Rituals won the Ferdinand Bordewijk Prize and the Pegasus Prize. It was published in an English translation in 1983 by Louisiana State University Press, which also published English translations of other works by Nooteboom through 1990. The novel was adapted as a 1988 French-language film with the same title, directed by Herbert Curiel.
