Met zijn ‘Kronieken van de Westhoek’ gaat schrijver Ivan Vanherpe op zoek naar het verleden van zijn eigen streek en dat van Vlaanderen met wie de Westhoek voortdurend wel en wee deelt. Een empathische zoektocht naar lang vervlogen gebeurtenissen. De auteur rekent onderweg af met de saaiheid en het theoretisch karakter van de geschiedenislessen uit zijn jeugd. Geschiedenis hoef je niet te memoriseren maar moet je zelf beleven. Enkel zo kan je werkelijk grip krijgen op wat voorbij is.
