Writer in Service to the Underdog. On the Oeuvre of Chris De Stoop

When it comes to people with power, sometimes Chris De Stoop cannot refrain from judgement. Far stronger and more fascinating is the work in which he explores the perceptions of people for whom society has already decided on its judgement. The great strength of such work shows that his soft voice, the loyal look in his eye and his understanding smile are much more than just the attitude of a skilled journalist: they form the expression of a fertile curiosity as to motivation and an honest empathy for those scrabbling to make a living in this world.
