Press on Among People:

Realism with a lot of wry humour, sometimes of the slapstick kind. Cinematic too. Deen’s writing is extraordinarily vivid and explicit. Excellent debut novel. – HET PAROOL

Love – or what passes for it – as an unpredictable force of nature: everyone is affected by it, not just lonely farmers or eccentric ladies from the city. You need the pen of a Mathijs Deen to depict this phenomenon with such agonizing realism. – NRC HANDELSBLAD

With Among People Deen has written a good, entertaining book.
