Biography

Nescio, Latin for 'I do not know', was the pen name of Dutch writer Jan Hendrik Frederik Grönloh (1882-1961). A businessman by profession, he is mainly remembered for the three novellas De uitvreter (The Freeloader), Titaantjes (Little Titans) and Dichtertje (Little Poet). His reputation as an important Dutch writer was only established after his death. An English translation of most of Nescio's stories was published in 2012 under the title Amsterdam Stories.
