The debut novel by the great Flemish writer Erwin Mortier, Marcel vividly describes the history of a family in a Flemish village, bowed by the weight of history.Written from the point of view of a ten-year-old boy, Marcel is a striking debut novel describing the vivid history of a family in a Flemish village. The mysterious death of Marcel, the family favourite, has always haunted the young boy. With the help of his schoolteacher, he starts to discover the secrets of Marcel's 'black' past. The story of his death on the Eastern Front, fighting with the SS for the sake of Flanders, and the shame this brought upon his family gradually become clear. Erwin Mortier unravels this shameful family tale in wonderfully sensitive and evocative manner. 'Mortier writes beautiful metaphorical prose...Marcel is a literary debut of great originality.' Times Literary Supplement 'Aspiring novelists will be hard pressed to achieve this quality.' Time Out 'A dream debut, staggering in its technical control, brimming with atmosphere, moving and witty, too, and with all that, a style completely his own' NRC Handlesblad
