| biography:
| Novelist and journalist, born in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. In her work she transposes the genre of the 19th-c Anglo-Saxon Gothic novel to modern times, producing novels which are both cruel and fantastic, blowing up reality to grotesque dimensions. A collection of her columns from the feminist magazine Opzij was published in Korte Metten (Short Shrift), and she was awarded a prize for the way she used emancipatory thought in her literary work. |
