«Le chagrin des Belges» is the autobiographical novel by Hugo Claus, published by Presses Pocket in paperback (708 pages, in French).
The novel follows Louis Seynaeve, a Flemish teenager, over eight years marked by the Second World War. Raised in a petty-bourgeois environment, he observes a society divided between loyalty to Belgium and the attraction of Nazism. It combines rawness, humour and the grotesque to portray everyday life and the conflicts of the twentieth century.
For readers who want a chronicle of twentieth-century Flemish society and interwar Europe.
