- Claus' literary contributions spanned the genres of drama, the novel, 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. His death by euthanasia, which is legal in Belgium, led to considerable controversy.
