Requiem for a Chatterbox
Isabelle Van Hecke and Stefan Perceval tackle a haunting text about saying goodbye and discovering.
An upbeat novel about grief, heritage, and language. Is that even possible? Anyone who has read the novel 'Wit is altijd schoon' by Leo Pleysier knows the answer.
In extraordinarily clear and light-footed language, Pleysier describes the complex feelings of a son for his deceased mother, who buried him under her chatter for a very long time. It results in a warm and loving portrait.
