Tim Krabbé Biography
Tim Krabbé (born April 13, 1943) is a Dutch journalist, novelist and chess player. Once a competitive cyclist, Krabbé is known to Dutch readers for his novel De Renner (The Rider), first published in 1978 and translated into English in 2002, of which The Guardian's Matt Seaton wrote: "Nothing better is ever likely to be written on the subjective experience of cycle-racing".
English readers know him primarily for The Vanishing (Dutch: Spoorloos), the translation of his 1984 novel Het Gouden Ei (The Golden Egg), which was made into an acclaimed 1988 Dutch film for which Krabbé co-wrote a script. A poorly received American remake was made in 1993. In 1997 he published De grot, translated as The Cave and published in the U.
S. in 2000.
