A tragicomical story about a 50-year-old man living in Antwerp, Belgium, back in 1933, who loses his mother and goes through a midlife crisis. His story is not particularly funny, not downright hilarious, but contains elements of bitter irony and a mild cynicism of sorts. It can be perceived as a satire,...

Came across this on the Boxall 1000 list. An interesting story about a fascinating period of history that I knew next to nothing about.
Parts of the book were better than others. The dialogue at times felt very forced and laboured and in some parts downright syrupy and melodramatic. Strangely...
