Frank, tender and brutally funny, this is a vibrantly entertaining story about a boy growing up in a family of desperate alcoholics, who finds out that the only thing worse than an ordinary miserable childhood is an ordinary miserable Belgian Catholic childhood.
Sobriety and moderation are alien concepts to the men in Dimmy's family. Useless in all other respects, his three uncles have a rare talent for drinking, a flair for violence, and an unwavering commitment to the pub. When his mother soon leaves and Dimmy grows up amid the stench of stale beer, he seems destined to follow the path of his forebears and make a low-life career in inebriation, until he begins to piece together his own plan for the future... In this semi-autobiographical novel, Dimitri Verhulst brings his shambolic upbringing to life, with characteristic warmth, colour, and wit.
