The black bridge
A man is unable to adapt to a changing world. He loses himself in yearnings for the security of his youth. Until he can't take it anymore.
Leo Lenaerts died in the summer of 2015, less than two hundred metres from the place where his parental home once stood. The idyllic village of Lillo where he grew up was swallowed up by the big city and literally wiped off the map. A forced life in anonymous urbanity left Leo scarred and uprooted. His voice was not heard, his resistance was useless, his powerlessness became resentment and finally unreasonable anger. With all the consequences.
In this book, desperation, uncouth friendship, sarcastic humor and suppressed melancholy fight for priority. The Black Bridge is the sketch of the life of an inconspicuous but potentially dangerous man.
