A review by acinthedc
The Misfortunates by Dimitri Verhulst

2.0

This novel alternately reads like a memoir and a collection of short stories with the same cast of characters visited at different points in time. The Verhulst clan is composed of men who drink too much and behave badly and the matriarch who indulges them. There are some funny moments, but I found the book to be rather bleak.
