René Gysen (1927–1969)

Grillige Kathleen is an experimental novel by the Flemish author René Gysen, published in 1966. Not without dispute, the book is considered to be a novel, despite the fact that it looks more like a short story collection. In fact, the books consists of seven texts, which belong to different genres altogether, including short stories and essays. The novel seems to be a contemplation on Nabokov's famous novel Lolita, which was first published in 1955.
