| biography:
| Novelist, born in Enschede, E Netherlands. His work displays a fascination for religious themes and their fading importance in today's society. In his most successful work, Het grote verlangen (1992, The Big Longing), he depicts modern-day people searching for their place in a world where ideologies, religion, and traditional values have lost their significance. Driven away from paradise, people seek to come to terms with reality in an attempt to know themselves and the world around them. Philosophical in nature, his work makes regular reference to the Bible and mythology. |
