Biography (from publisher Harvill
Secker):
Willem Frederik Hermans was
born in Amsterdam in 1921 and studied Physical Geography before becoming a
lecturer at Groningen University. Disaffected with academia and his native
country, he took up residence in Paris in 1973. A champion of unadorned style,
he is the author of numerous novels, essays, plays and poems, and is considered
one of the greatest post-war European writers. His novel Beyond
Sleep was published by Harvill Secker in 2006, and he is also
the author of The Darkroom of
Damocles. He died in 1995.
