of how to make natural forces speak without humanizing them.

- Writer, essayist and reviewer Cyrille Offermans on 'Het onmogelijke manuscript': "Profound and perceptive, but also playful and witty - you don't often come across that combination.

That the world can be saved is now certain' (René ten Bos, ex-Denker des Vaderlands); 'Derix' fine writing style and sense of humor make you want to read on quickly' (|De Limburger); 'Fantastic in all senses of the word' (Fons Geraets, L1 radio).
