A written manifesto to the vivid and constant presence of those who aren’t physically with us anymore. However our collective and individual #memories of them make them more real than our own realities or a part of those same realities. As an adult, you might ignore or even fight against this. But a child understands better than us than what you feel is part of basic sensory reality as well. In this tiny and concise book, #mortier aims at describing those simple yet deep instances when we also in the past believed in the stories more than our realities. #marcel is his #debutnovel and one that offers a compelling and powerful case to continue reading his oeuvre. It’s important to note that #erwinmortier is also a great way to penetrate the #flemish soul with all its future dreams and past ghosts. If you’re interested in the region, I’d highly recommend giving Mortier a chance. #nevele #ghent #belgianliterature#flemishliterature #pushkinpress#highlyrecommended #comingofage#dead #deadpeople #familyissues#flanders #lifeanddeath#throughachildseyes #past
