Subject: Dutch novelist / poet / sculptor Jan Wolkers dies at 81
Written By: Henk on 10/19/07 at 12:50 pm
Dutch novelist, poet and sculptor Jan Wolkers _ whose sex-charged books helped shake off the shackles of postwar conservatism in the Netherlands _ died on Friday at his home on the North Sea island of Texel, his publisher said.
Wolkers' best-known book was Turks Fruit, or "Turkish Delight," the story of a stormy relationship between a sculptor and his girlfriend who break up and are reunited shortly before she dies of a brain tumor.
It was published in 1969 and has been translated into a dozen languages. In 1973, it was made into a film, directed by Paul Verhoeven and starring Rutger Hauer, that was nominated for an Oscar and was voted Best Dutch Film of the 20th Century.
