About This Book

Een ik-verteller, Alfred Spier, herinnert zich verstrikte huiselijke verhoudingen en een episode van overspel die sociale veroordeling uitlokt; het verhaal bevraagt de hypocrisie van de burgerlijke moraal en beschrijft seksuele relaties onomwonden, bewust in strijd met beleefde literaire omgangsvormen. Door scherpe, ongekunstelde scènes en opgenomen polemische brieven over realisme en zedelijkheid zet de tekst aan tot debat over schaamte, familiale plichten en de dubbele standaard die verlangen stigmatiseert. De toon is confronterend en direct, bedoeld om conventies van sentimentele verbeelding ter discussie te stellen.
