Chris Yperman

Een heel klein scheepje (Eng. "A tiny boat") is a short experimental novel by the female Flemish author Chris Yperman. The novel is written, using charged, poetic language, which, at times, makes understanding difficult, and creates a magic atmosphere. There is not much of a story, and, published in 1959, the novel's main idea, that women can take the initiative to seek out sexual pleasure, and sustain sexual relationships with two men, was still a bit scandalous at the time.

Re-reading is recommended to make the most of this wonderful short novel.… (meer)
