Short Bio:

Cornelis Johannes Jacobus Maria "Cees" Nooteboom (; 31 July 1933 – 11 February 2026) was a Dutch novelist, poet and journalist. After the attention received by his novel Rituals (Rituelen, 1980), which won the Pegasus Prize, it was the first of his novels to be translated into an English-language edition, published in 1983 by Louisiana State University Press (LSU Press) of the United States. LSU Press published his two earlier novels in English in the following years, as well as other works up until 1990.

Harcourt (now Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) and Grove Press have since published some of his works in English. Nooteboom won numerous literary awards and was mentioned as a candidate for the Nobel Prize in literature.
