Torsten Krol is an Australian writer resident in Queensland. He is the author of the FOREVERMAN series of novels (2018-2021). He is best known for his novels The Dolphin People (2006), a postmodern "parable" of a World War II-era German family lost in the South American jungle,and Callisto (2007), a "nightmarishly amusing" satire on modern day American attitudes to terrorism, post-9/11, which was translated into 22 languages.
Described as "reclusive", Krol does not make personal appearances to promote his work, and there has been media speculation about his identity; among others, The Sunday Star-Times and ABC's The Book Show have questioned whether he might be a better known author writing under a pseudonym.
