Short biography:
Gerrit Krol (1 August 1934 − 24 November 2013) was a Dutch author, essayist and writer.
Krol was born in Groningen. He studied mathematics and worked with Royal Dutch Shell and some of its operating units as computer programmer and system designer. He developed a typical writing style consisting of text mingled with abstract thoughts expressed in drawings and mathematical equations.
In 1986 Krol received the Constantijn Huygens Prize, and in 2001 the P. C. Hooft Award - the highest Dutch Governmental award for literature - for his complete oeuvre. On 20 October 2005, the 125th anniversary of the Amsterdam Free University, Krol received a Doctorate Honoris causa from this university.
