Life Itself: Louis Paul Boon As Innovator of the Novel

Oever (State U. of Groningen and U. of Utrecht) offers a corrective to what she sees as the curiously reductive and biographical critical treatment of Flemish novelist Boon and his work. Comparing him to Kafka as well as other European innovators, she explains how he has discovered new potentials for the novel form. She has not indexed her work. Het leven zelf; Louis Paul Boon als remanvernieuwr was published in 2007 by Wever and Bergh, and here translated by Annette Visser. Annotation 穢2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
