Christ's Entry Into Brussels: (In the Year 2000 and Something, or Thereabouts)
Christ's Entry Into Brussels: (In the Year 2000 and Something, or Thereabouts) | Dimitri Verhulst
1 post | 1 read | 1 reading
This novel by Dimitri Verhulst resembles a quirky pamphlet and a moral fable. The narrator considers himself part of the 'lost generation', which has no illusions about the state of the world - both in absurd Belgium and in the distressingly imperfect world beyond. He puts a finger on the symptomatic fever blisters of contemporary society, of the so-called 'malcontent mass'. With his bizarre imaginings, harsh criticisms and stylistic verve, he exposes an embarrassing reality, which often makes you laugh conspiratorially, and then cry.

One of the great joys in life is travelling to a place reading a book that takes place in that place. Hi Brussels.
