Torsten Krol is an Australian writer resident inQueensland.^[1][2] He is the author of theFOREVERMAN series of novels (2018–2023). He is best known for his novelsThe Dolphin People (2006), apostmodern "parable"^[3] of aWorld War II-era German family lost in the South American jungle,^[4] andCallisto (2007), a "nightmarishly amusing"^[5]satire on post-9/11 American attitudes to terrorism, which was translated into 22 languages.

Described as "reclusive",^[6] 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 andABC'sThe Book Show have questioned whether he might be a better-known author writing under apseudonym.^[7][8][9]

In April 2018, a few days prior to the publication of Krol's new novel series,FOREVERMAN, a German author published a piece of non-fiction literary criticism postulating possible identities of Torsten Krol.^[10]
