My Little War

Louis Paul Boon's (1912-1979) oeuvre spans several genres, including historical epics, newspaper columns, and scabrous novels such as Chapel Road and Summer in Termuren. Paul Vincent is an award-winning translator of Dutch literature whose translation of Hendrik Marsman's Herinnering aan Holland earned the David Reid Poetry Translation Prize.

"His blitz technique produces its strangest effects in this little journal from the war and the post-war period, which booms crazily, as if Boon's typewriter had been rattling away like a machine gun."—R. F. Lissens
