  <about><![CDATA[Richard de Nooy’s first novel &quot;Six Fang Marks and a Tetanus Shot&quot; was released by Jacana Media in South Africa in mid-2007. It won the University of Johannesburg Prize for Best First Book in 2008 and was nominated for several other awards that same year.

De Nooy grew up in Johannesburg, but has lived in Amsterdam, Holland, for the past 20 years. He managed to postpone his writing career by studying Journalism at Rhodes University (South Africa) and Psychology at the University of Amsterdam (Holland). He went on to procrastinate as a bouncer, cartoonist, translator, editor and copywriter, but remained a closet novelist throughout. 

De Nooy is deeply intrigued by the quirks and foibles of humanity, but does not necessarily wish to experience them at close quarters. He loves people, but wants to be left the hell alone.]]></about>        <born_at>04/15/1965</born_at>
