Our country is torn, we have no government since ... er ... can not even count the more months, it is only a question of communal conflict in TV news ... What this does not prevent us to develop, whenever we want, a small nationalist sentiment and defend well from our books for our readers to discover another country or our countrymen not always aware that we, Belgians, we writing, and sometimes very good. A bit of everything, not brol: a melting pot!
- Novels intimate
Who says intimate, "said Corinne Hoex. The novelist talks about herself, her childhood, of his injuries. In My dress is not wrinkled she approached adolescence through the character of a young girl caught between indifferent mother, a father and a manipulative abusive boyfriend. In his latest novel, I kill you Decidedly, the author recalls his mother. Or rather the last moments of her mother's life, how it will follow until his last breath, and above all it will handle the grief of this cold woman, often brittle, sometimes violent, which kept her daughter but was never far away.
Mama Jeanne , the last story of Daniel CHARNEUX, is also a small intimate novel finesse that tells the sad life of a woman of the people at the beginning of the century, always forced to rely on men to become good at quarry and will discuss the difficulty for a woman of her condition, only to get out and reach to become a real mother to children she can not eat. In
Forget Adam Weinberger , ENGEL Vincent tells the concentration camps ... or rather do not tell but speaks of Adam's life before and after Weinberger unrepeatable experience. Then difficult to forget. Intimate
always Those who walk in cities , Jean-François DAUVEN, novel about a handful of individuals lost in a big city, which cities will be, too, the characters. Paris, Rome, London, Brussels ... and, of course, as many cities as stories which eventually respond. If the walk takes us DAUVEN which is sometimes a bit long, description of cities and individuals do not lack charm.
- Some thrillers
is often compared to SIMENON Armel JOB. It is true that his thrillers are like the master of Liege, psychological novels before being thrillers. In The Fake innocence, already, the mood disorder JOB reconstituted after the war in the townships redeemed (part of Belgium near the German border) and made us interested in the strange personality of the narrator, his tyrannical mother and the woman he continues to love it despite the suspicion to have actually killed her husband. In his latest novel, You not judge, where he talks about the disappearance of a baby, the point of view is the judge who conducts the case, who suspects the mother and seeks to know the truth without prejudice trial. Breathless novel that subtly avoids falling into the murky, the flashy or melodramatic.
Another example is Jean-Baptiste Baronian, author of "specialized" in crime fiction and fantasy (it is not for nothing ... Belgian) who has published some forty novels (but also an excellent biography of Baudelaire) whose very Black Matricide in which a district policeman murdered on a bored whim a poor little old.
And since we are a united Belgium, recall that we had already talked here a large Flemish author of detective fiction, namely Pieter Aspe.
- Historical Novels
It is the story of Rabelais that Valerie was interested in his novel THE CHANGY Son of Rabelais. The novelist recounts an episode in the life of the great humanist writer through a hypothetical son adopted. We are at the end of the Renaissance, in full religious war, during which he is not as easy to say what one thinks, even laughter, and where Rabelais begins to worry about the reaction that could cause the release of his latest book, The Third Book .
- Novels anticipation
QUIRIGNY Bernard is a young author to monitor and greet for two obvious reasons: his novel The Thirsty (we talked about here ) is an excellent mix of utopia-cons and humor but also (especially?) he has allowed addicts literary season, which gave him a lot of attention to discover that, no, no Amelie Nothomb writes in Belgium ...
ENGEL Vincent , meanwhile, suggests in My neighbor is someone to be careful to conduct our neighbors. That of Otto, narrator of this story is already scary at first. Then when you realize the Machiavellian plan he has put in place to enforce their radical ideas and obnoxious and to revive a sad past, it was decided to intensify vigilance in relation to our neighborhood. ENGEL nothing in terms of inventing fiction novel but loves his dynamic style and caustic, and then there are memories he's always good to remember ... Read
drache that he or Snow, a packet of hot chips or a good Gauf 'hands, seated before a good pintje ... who knows if you will not have a sacred boentje for one of these authors!
