Louis Paul Boon
Louis Paul Boon (1912-1979) started life as a house painter but went on to become the author of a large and rich oeuvre which spans several genres. His work ranges from the compelling historical epics he composed later in his life to his sharp, witty work as a newspaper columnist and his tongue-in-cheek scabrous novels. Despite the merits of all these works, there is one book that stands out above the rest: Chapel Road.
