| Summary | "De Biezenstekker" by Cyriel Buysse is a novella written in the late 19th century, specifically around the year 1894. This work is primarily a narrative that delves into the harsh realities of rural life and human relationships. It explores complex themes of violence, familial duty, and social struggle, encapsulating the grim essence of life in a small Flemish village. The story revolves around Cloet, a rough and violent man who has recently been released from prison after serving time for a crime of passion. As he returns to his family, he grapples with feelings of betrayal upon discovering his wife's infidelity, which he suspects led to his incarceration. This fuels his rage, culminating in an explosive confrontation with his wife that leads to domestic violence and the specter of vengeance toward his supposed rival, Rosse Tjeef. Cloet’s brutality starkly contrasts with his innocent son, Julken, who becomes a symbol of innocence amidst chaos and neglect. Julken, referred to as "the little reed puller," faces mistreatment from his family, particularly due to his perceived illegitimacy. The novella closes with an unsettling ambiguity about family and forgiveness, leaving readers to ponder the cycles of violence and disconnection that plague Cloet's household.
