The feasibility of writing a definitive biography of Leo Vroman’s life and work and that of his wife (Tineke) is being investigated. These works are managed and maintained for future generations by the Vroman Foundation.

This is no simple task as the work is so broad. Obviously, Leo Vroman wrote a lot about himself, both about his life and his work, but a biography has not been written.

The Vroman Foundation is in discussion with the writer Atte Jongstra about the goals and costs for this project. The board is also in discussion with the Dutch Literary Museum and various funding bodies about the form, development and finances for this project.

It is clearly a significant task and we will keep you up to date here.
