| - | The [[Dutch writer]] '''Willem Frederik Hermans''' ([[September 1]], [[1921]]–[[April 27]], [[1995]]) is considered one of the most important [[author]]s in the Netherlands in the postwar period. | + | '''''Paranoia''''' is a 1953 short story collection by the Dutch writer [[Willem Frederik Hermans]]. The titular story was adapted into the 1967 film ''[[Paranoia (1967 film)|Paranoia]]'', directed by [[Adriaan Ditvoorst]]. |
| - | His ''oeuvre'' includes novels, short stories, essays, and philosophical and scientific works. | + | ==Contents== |

| - | His style is [[existentialist]] and generally quite [[bleak]], and his writing style is quite unique in its short and pointed sentences, especially in [[Dutch language|Dutch]]. There is no doubt that he was influenced by [[World War II]] and the German occupation of the Netherlands between [[1940]] and [[1945]], and his longer novels (''De tranen der acacia's'' and ''De donkere kamer van Damokles'') are set during the war. Even his more upbeat writings (''Onder professoren'' and ''Au pair'') can have a strange, existentialist twist to them. | + | ==See also== |

| - | In [[1958]] W.F. Hermans was appointed as a [[reader]] in [[ physical geography]] at the [[Groningen University]]. In [[1972]], after accusations, of among others the catholic [[Member of Parliament]], and later [[minister]], [[Jan de Koning]], that Hermans was using his time writing instead of lecturing, a parliamentary committee was set up to investigate this matter. The committee's principal findings revealed that Hermans main misconduct was his using university stationery for writing his notes. In [[1973]] he resigned and settled as a full time writer in [[Paris]]. In ''[[Onder professoren]]'' (Among professors) ([[1975]]) he described the university life in Groningen in a bitter and satirical way. It can be read as a key roman and was entirely written on the empty sides of university letters, according to Hermans's [[alter ego]] Zomerplaag: 'to do something useful with this expensive paper that would normally disappear unread in the garbage bin polluting the environment'. Afterwards the university obliged staff members to use both sides of papers. | ||
| - | |||
| - | In 1986 the Mayor and City Council of [[Amsterdam]] officially declared Hermans | ||
| - | [[persona non grata]] in Amsterdam as he visited [[South-Africa]] in 1983 during the [[Apartheid]] period. Hermans did not visit his birthplace again until 1993 for a book presentation. | ||
| - | |||
| - | He received [[honorary doctorate]]s from the [[University of Liège]] (Luik) in 1990 and the [[University of Pretoria]] in 1993. | ||
