Both in literature and philosophy it is assumed that the beginning ofpost-modernity coincides with the end of the so-called grand narrative. Referringto Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe’s last book  L’“Allégorie” , one could claim that sincethen, literary (re)presentation manifests itself as essentially ‘chronic’ and nonallegorical.Moreover, in the wake of Thomas Friedman’s  The World is Flat  thetwenty-first century is often referred to as an all-visible flat world. This flatness,however, both extends and challenges the postmodern end of the grand narrative.After all, a world without reverse might be particularly suitable for an allencompassingstory. This seems to be the conclusion drawn by the remarkableand comparable recent novels of three Flemish literary writers. Putting to the testexisting ideas of literary presentation of post-modernity, they return to the grandnarrative while at the same time subscribing to the main characteristics ofcontemporary literature.
