The Following Story is a novel by the Dutch writer Cees Nooteboom. The plot follows Herman Mussert, a professor of classical languages who inexplicably finds himself in a Lisbon hotel, questioning his identity and the possibility of being dead. Through a prose full of intelligence and irony, Nooteboom explores themes such as metamorphosis, death, and the meaning of life, both from a classical and scientific perspective.
Cornelis Johannes Jacobus Maria "Cees" Nooteboom was a Dutch novelist, poet and journalist. After the attention received by his novel Rituals, which won the Pegasus Prize, it was the first of his novels to be translated into an English-language edition, published in 1983 by Louisiana State University Press of the United States. LSU Press published his two earlier novels in English in the following years, as well as other works up until 1990. Harcourt and Grove Press have since published some of his works in English.
