  Abstract:  Jean Muno, Rages et Ratures or the Diary of a Detested Filiation. Starting from Jean Muno’s (pen name of Robert Burniaux) posthumous diary, Rages et ratures [Rages and Erasures], the author of this article sets out to examine the conflicting relations between the Belgian writer and his father, the novelist Constant Burniaux. This devastating and ferocious book published in 1998 by Jean-Marc Burniaux, Muno’s son, is not incidental in the writer’s work. Before this novel, he had written two other autobiographical, diary-like novels (Ripple-Marks in 1976 and Histoire exécrable d’un héros brabançon in 1982) which both belong to “settlement” literature, for we can talk about a settlement in the writer’s relationship with his parents, a kind of “parenticide by the word”, and, through the family, about a questioning of society’s false values, a demolition of the System (be it institutional, political, or moral).
