Want het is werkelijk waar, dat er spoken knagen achter het behang: hitler is dood, en de wereld die met hem heeft doodgedaan wordt nu hitleriaans - zo gaat dat met de wereld, meneerke brys... nadat christus aan het kruis gehangen werd is de wereld onder het teken van het christelijk kruis gaan staan... nadat hitler en mussolini werden verscheurd, begint de wereld fascistisch te worden." ( )2  damngoodsoffie | Apr 23, 2009 | Like 'Chapel Road' this book is not all that easy to describe. There are not fine plot lines here. Life is chaotic and this although fiction is more an example of what life is than your more generic work of carefully constructed fiction. Having said all that though Boon is a wonderful writer but very much of a curmudgeon though the sarcasm and satire that flows through this makes it also at times a laugh out loud funny book. These people are all bent on their own ambitions and are dangerous to each others. They continually (almost unconsciously) wreck each others chances at happiness--should mention that what strikes each and every one of them as happiness is often something truly grotesque. Anyway for those interested read 'Chapel Road' first as it's the first part--about half as long and IMO a little bit better but this is also very much worth reading too. (  )2 lriley | Oct 18, 2006 |
Between the electrodes of humor and doubt flows the current of satire. One of literature’s more perishable devices, this setup usually fizzles when the object of mockery sheds its markings or seeps into banality. But what if the satirist directed his energies inward as well as outward? What if, as befits one schooled in the tenets of modernism, one placed the accent on the delivery rather than the punch line?

This, the author writes, is "the novel of the indiviual in a world of barbarians." It is the story of Ondine and Oscarke, a young married couple adrift in a Belgian landscape that is darkening under the spread of industry and World War I. Ondine, who "came to serve god and live," finds that she must "serve the gentlemen" instead. Oscarke, an aspiring sculptor, finds himself unsuccessfully scouring Brussels for work and, when he is finally hired, too tired to make his own art. They grow old and their four children grow up as "technology and mechanization, unemployment, fascism, and war" take over around them. War destroys their attempts to establish a better life, which they seek continually and against all odds. And the chapters about these characters, some of whom first appeared in Chapel Road, alternate with chapters about Boon himself, who describes the impossibility of modern life and the destruction of war. As this wide-ranging novel progresses, the author's struggles--both with writing and with his own life--come more and more to resemble those of his characters.
