Hans Warren

Johannes Adrianus Menne Warren (20 October 1921, in Borssele – 19 December 2001, in Goes ) was a Dutch writer. Much of his fame in the Netherlands derives from having published a collection of diaries

From 1985 until 2002, Meulenhoff published a Warren calendar with a poem each day. Together with Molegraaf, Warren published several popular poetry anthologies.

In 2004, two novels he wrote in 1950 (Een vriend voor de schemering and Om het behoud der eenzaamheid) were rediscovered; Een vriend voor de schemering was published in 2005.
