Hard Copy Reviews

Despite its whimsical premise, Hard Copy is at its heart a joyful, tender, and strangely relatable novel. With sharp, playful prose Veldman tells a story in equal parts searing intelligence and madcap sweetness. Simply brilliant. -- Jenny Mustard, author of Okay Days
This novel has it all. It's smart, captivating, poignant, absurd, moving, and terribly funny. * Jente Posthuma, author of What I'd Rather Not Think About *
Intimate and surprising at every turn, Hard Copy's distinct narrative voice took me right in from page one. A truly one-of-a-kind novel: I loved it. -- Sarah Maria Griffin, author of Other Words for Smoke
Rounded with sharp observations and surprising humour, Hard Copy is an incisive commentary on social isolation a young womans desperate search for connection in these late-capitalist times. * Anindita Ghose, author of The Illuminated *
Dryly comic... You regularly wonder who is more disturbed here, the protagonist or society. * Het Parool *
A weird, understated and very well written book about a millennial meltdown * Havermelkelite *
A beautiful, at times absurdist and moving debut * Boekblad *
In clear, bright language, Fien Veldman accurately depicts a world, a social background, that eats its way through the individual... A novel like an autopsy. -- Manon Uphoff
Absurdist and inventive. Fien Veldman knows how to deal with contemporary cultural phenomena, and she always approaches them astutely and surprisingly' * Tzum *
Wondrous * Noordhollands Dagblad *
A beautiful book * Friesch Dagblad *
