JAN VANTOORTELBOOM, originally a teacher, grew up in Elverdinge, a small village in Belgium. In 2011 he debuted with the prize-winning novel De verzonken jongen (‘The Sunken Boy’), a coming-of-age tale about a family riddled with mysteries set against the backdrop of World War I. His second novel, His Name Is David, surpassed the success of his debut and cemented his position in Dutch literature. It was chosen as Book of the Month by an influential Dutch talk show, and has sold over 30,000 copies in the Netherlands and Belgium.
