Gardener and writer Gerbrand Bakker cultivates stories, love affairs that dovetail in evocative novels. Spellbinding and subtle, The Twin is a voyeuristic portrait of tattered family, living in the sombre Dutch countryside. Gerbrand’s writings present landscapes melded into one, the potency of feelings becoming as sticky and physical as smouldering fog. For Extra Extra, the short story Van Oorschot captures the pleasure of people watching in a park.
