Forlagsbeskrivelse af Chapel Road af Louis Paul Boon
A meta-textual matryoshka doll of a novel from a renowned voice in Flemish literature. The twisting narrative of Louis Paul Boon’s 1953 masterpiece follows a young girl named Ondine and her brother Valeer, born into poverty at the turn of the century in the industrial city of Aalst, Belgium. Ondine’s coming of age is interwoven with a reworking of the medieval fable of Reynard the Fox, as well as a metanarrative in which an author named Louis Paul Boon and his colorful group of friends discuss the writing of a novel named Chapel Road, debating how best to present Ondine’s story. Groundbreaking among post-war Dutch literature for its postmodern structure and irreverent, dialect-studded use of language, Boon’s allegory of the rise and fall of socialism in Flanders presents his theory of the novel as a type of “illegal writing” where digressions are far more important than a carefully constructed plot.
