| | The Story of My Baldness by Marek van der Jagt - review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) |
 | | Marek van der Jagt, thought to be a real person when this book was first published, is, in fact, a pen name for the iconoclastic Dutch novelist Arnon Grunberg. |
 | | Inventing "Marek van der Jagt," an author who was supposedly a Viennese philosopher, Grunberg created a much publicized rivalry between van der Jagt and himself in the Dutch press. |
 | | Only when Viennese reporters, unable to find "van der Jagt," succeeded in tracking down the friend of Grunberg who had been forwarding all of "van der Jagt's" mail to him, was the true identity of "van der Jagt" discovered and the prize withdrawn. |
