Maarten Biesheuvel
Maarten Biesheuvel (23 May 1939 in Schiedam – 30 July 2020 in Leiden) was a Dutch writer. He made his literary debut in 1972 with the short story collection In de bovenkooi. He received the "Ferdinand Bordewijk Prijs" in 1984 for Reis door mijn kamer. In 2007 he received the P. C. Hooft Award.[1]
From 1990 Biesheuvel's literary production slowed significantly due to a writer's block and manic-depressive phases.[citation needed]
He died in July 2020.[2]
