War and Turpentine - Stefan Hertmans

Inspirat de notitele si amintirile bunicului sau, un pictor care a servit in armata belgiana in timpul primului razboi mondial, Hertmans scrie cu o elocventa care aminteste de W.G.Sebald, in timp ce exploreaza locurile in care autoritatea narativa, inventia si speculatia se amesteca. Autorul tese povestile bunicului intr-un produs propriu, dupa numeroase vizite in locurile care l-au marcat si dezvoltat pe batran ca sot, tata si artist. Hertmans realizeaza astfel o carte magistrala despre memorii, arta, iubire si razboi.
