Sorry if this is waaay off topic.

Someone mentioned Belgian literature in general, and the lack of knowledge of it in the English speaking world.

Two great authors come quickly to mind:

Henri Michaux and Hugo Claus. Claus's The Sorrow of Belgium is in my own top 50. Michaux was an incredibly original poet, artist, travel writer of both internal and external journeys.

Have you folks discussed either writer here?

Congrats, also, to Fausto, for getting such a direct response from the subject of this thread. The "internets" is pretty cool that way.
