Life

In addition to her novels, she writes short stories that have appeared in the literary magazines De Gids and Tirade . In 2017 she tried a creative entry into social media with the project Vreemde ogen dwingen . She collected impressions online for a photo by the American photographer Gregory Crewdson and processed them into a short story.
Her fourth novel Der Archivar der Welt , published in 2017, is the first of her books to be translated into German (2019).
