Peter Terrin (born 3 October 1968) is a Belgian novelist, and a winner of the European Union Prize for Literature.[1] He is the author of several novels and two collections of short stories.
Terrin's first novel, Kras ("Scratch") was published in 2001, and his 2003 novel Blanco ("Blank"), described as a "Kafka-like reality breakdown" and translated into Swedish in 2006[2] was his breakthrough.[3]Knack, a Belgian weekly that Terrin blogged for, described Blanco as the best Dutch-language novel about the father-son relationship since Ferdinand Bordewijk's Karakter.[4] His third novel, Vrouwen en kinderen eerst ("Women and Children First") was published in 2004.
Terrin cites Willem Frederik Hermans as an important influence for his minimalist style, and critics have recognized the influence of J. Bernlef in his prose.[4]
