Timeline

2010

Amsterdam, The Hague, Utrecht and Eindhoven libraries all nominated The Twin for the International Dublin Literary Award. Bakker received it in Dublin on 17 June 2010. He was the first Dutch writer to win the prize, the world's most lucrative individual literary award, with a €100,000 prize. The Twin defeated 155 titles from more than 40 countries. The judges said his writing was "wonderful: restrained and clear" and that Bakker "excels at dialogue". The Twin has also received praise from J. M. Coetzee. Bakker spoke of the need "to lie down for a while" when he was announced as the winner and said "It's wonderful". Opting not to give a speech he instead played a tape recording of "Waar is de zon?", the Dutch entry in Eurovision Song Contest 1994 (which also occurred in Dublin).

De omweg, Bakker's third adult novel was published in October 2010 and later translated into English as The Detour, again by David Colmer. It is a study in self-searching, self-assertion and the nature of pain, narrated by a middle-aged Dutchwoman who has fled her husband to live in the solitude of rural Wales. It won the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize (2013).

2009

June is Bakker's second adult novel, published in 2009. It is expected to appear in English in due course.

2006

Bakker is a gardener by trade, having acquired his gardening license in 2006. He says writing and gardening are compatible. Bakker works as a skating instructor in winters. He commented "in the autumn when I rake the dead leaves I can do it for hours – once I even disturbed a pile I'd made so I could go on raking. The sound is so wonderful: it lets you think in a subconscious way, in the back of your mind.

2002

In 2002 Bakker was hiking through mountains whilst on holiday in Corsica when he first thought up the book that would become The Twin. He thought about a son who might "do something terrible to his father" but was left "frustrated" when the idea failed to progress any further until one day he began to write at random. Boven is het stil was published in 2006 and its English translation, titled The Twin, followed in 2008. The novel's Dutch title could be translated as "Upstairs, everything is quiet."
