Paul Evenblij
Paul Evenblij is a
Dutch author of
speculative fiction. He has won the
Paul Harland Prize for his
short stories in both 1988 and 2001. An English language collection of stories, ''Systems of Romance'', he wrote in conjunction with
Paul Harland was published in 1995. After publishing several other stories he went on to write his first (
Dutch language) novel ''De Scrypturist'' in 2009 under the
pseudonym Paul Evanby to great critical acclaim. It is the first part in a series named 'Het Levend Zwart' ("The Living Black"). The novel has been described as '
steampunk without steam engines'. A second part in the series, ''De Vloedvormer'', was released in 2010. These novels describe a fictional
historical society where scribes knowledgeable in a special magical script
escape from and alter their
dystopian society by creating an alternate reality that bears resemblances to both
William Gibson's "
cyberspace" and
William Burroughs' "Interzone". Neither of these novels have been translated into English.
