Torsten Krol is an Australian writer resident in Queensland. He is best known for his novels The Dolphin People, a postmodern tale of two World War II-era German brothers lost in the South American jungle, and Callisto, a satire on modern day American attitudes to terrorism, post-9/11.
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.
