Ramone

Nights of drinking in the harbors always bring stories. Ramone is embarked on a funny one. It's still a classic story, like a fairy tale what mom used to tell us when we were little: there are encounters, trials and a quest. Lukas Verstraete is part of this new rising generation of Flemish authors. There is some James Ensor (The Entry of Christ into Brussels - and of Christ, it is also a question), of Vandersteen (Bob and Bobette), of the Breughelian truculence and even Peyo (The Cursed Country) in this epic lyrical. To find the end of the story, Ramone will have to cross a desert, find a spring in a cave, meeting a philosopher... Yes, Ramone is the unintentional plagiarism of The Source of the Gods and The Cursed Country, these adventures of Johan and Pirlouit, which Verstraete has never read. Little Red Riding Hood giant will give him turgid erections. He will find the source at the bottom of his wet sex. Other adventures will eventually lead him to the famous philosopher, who cannot point the way to the end if he does not know it nature and qualities. It is that there are multiple ends, of very different qualities variables. Ramone's quest is all the more arduous and perilous because he is not not alone in looking for it. If a rival got there first, would we be trapped in the story, with him, until the end of time? Oh no, that's stupid: there wouldn't be no more end.
