But the book is about a lot more than that. It is also the story of Louis Paul Boon, an author working on a novel entitled \u003ci\u003eChapel Road\u003c\/i\u003e, surrounded by his colorful group of friends. His readers and companions include the painter Tippetotje, who habitually works a naked woman into her paintings, and Johan Janssens, the journalist and poet who is fired from the paper for refusing to agree with the Capitalists, the Socialists or the Ultra-Marxists. Beyond that, \u003ci\u003eChapel Road\u003c\/i\u003e includes a retelling of the myth of Reynard the fox and Isengrinus the wolf, a tale that underscores the greed, stupidity, hypocrisy, pride and lust motivating the other characters of the book. Chapel Road is a pool, a sea, a chaos: it is the book of all that can be heard and seen in Chapel Road, from the year 1800-and-something until today.","brand":"Dalkey Archive Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53188919525719,"sku":"9781628975192","price":14.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/chapel-road-9781628975192","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
