Debut (1934) .Comes from the withdrawn Novel Kind tusschen vier vrouwen, which was written before, but Vestdijk couldn't find a publisher-the novel being over 900 pages. After a depression, he wrote Terug tot Ina Damman, in which he describes his formative years in Lahringen (harlingen, Friesland),around 1910-1914. He falls in love with Ina Damman,but is in fact too young to understand what is happening. One of the best books written in the 20th century in The Netherland.Vestdijk wrote over 50 novels, poems, essays.He was for years the Dutch candidate for the Nobel Prize for literature.The Dutch are still waiting for their first Nobel prize winner. To me, the best Dutch writer. ( )
