Ons Soort Mensen - Marjolijn Februari
http://library.advisory-council-degas.com/details/764.html

De Zonen Van Het Uitzicht - Marjolijn Februari
http://library.advisory-council-degas.com/details/812.html
De Zonen Van Het Uitzicht. Literaire roman, novelle. De zonen van het uitzicht is wel het grilligste romandebuut dat Querido ooit in het licht heeft gegeven. Is het eigenlijk wel een roman, is dan de geijkte vraag. Maar als het begrip 'roman' niet zo nu en dan werd uitgebreid om iets op te nemen wat er daarvoor nog niet was - betekende dat niet dat de roman dood was? En is De zonen van het uitzicht geen bewijs van het tegendeel? De zonen van het uitzicht is bekroond met de Multatuliprijs 1990.
