Hugo Maurice Julien Claus (Dutch pronunciation:[ˈɦyɣoːˈklʌu̯s]; 5 April 1929 – 19 March 2008) was a leading Belgian author who published under his own name as well as various pseudonyms. Claus' literary contributions spanned the genres of drama, novels, and poetry; he also left a legacy as a painter and film director. He wrote primarily in Dutch, although he also wrote some poetry in English. He won the 2000 International Nonino Prize in Italy.
His death by euthanasia, which is legal in Belgium, led to considerable controversy.
