	CONTEXT: Issue No. 19: Louis Paul Boon
		At first he was drawn to a left-wing version of the Flemish nationalist movement, striving at the time to establish the legitimacy of a culture based on the Dutch language, while its right-wing counterpart was already progressing towards an overt fascism.
		By the mid-1940s, however, he was reviewing many works of world literature for the left-wing press—works by such authors as Céline, Joyce, Caldwell, and Dos Passos—and under their influence, he became frustrated with straightforward, neatly chronological narrative.
		He published a kind of literary cookbook on Flemish cuisine and a number of “documentary” historical novels about Belgium, though these later works were never quite as inventive or gripping as Chapel Road and Summer in Termuren.
