Each story is horrific, albeit often in a mundane way, but I didn't get them. I got nothing from reading them except the thought, "well that's horrific." DNF, I need something else to keep on with that. ( ) This collection of short stories largely focuses on what begin as normal, regular days--and then they go off the rails. Some go off horribly and physically (Bulbjerg; Mosquito Bite), some just get away from plans in ways horrible to disappointing (Blackcurrent; Candy), others are relationship-based (Torben and Maria; The Green Darkness of the Big Trees). All are interesting, and felt very different to me than most short story collections. Translated from Danish; the author has won some big prizes in Europe. This collection of short, wild, disturbing and often deeply ambiguous stories won Aidt the 2008 Nordic Council Prize. She plays around with the boundaries of reality and fantasy, so that characters often find themselves living out their darkest fears or most perverted desires in a frighteningly realistic setting. The mostly very short forms allow her to keep us guessing until the last page (sometimes beyond it) about the characters - is the narrator supposed to be male or female? which country are we in? are they married to each other or to someone else? whose are the children? is it all just a nightmare? Very interesting, powerful and original writing, but not a book you would want to read just before going to bed. And it might well put you off blackcurrant jam for a long time...
Fremragende små kunststykker Aidts univers er umiskendeligt (...) Altid med livet i hænderne En central nyfortolker af den danske novelletradition (...) Går direkte i mellemgulvet på læseren Novellevild (...) Flyder over med gal passion, pludseligt raseri og stille desperation. Man kan faktisk gøre det: Skrive om virkeligheden, om det moderne angstprægede menneske, så det bliver en oplevelse, der forplanter sig chokerende uafviseligt i læseren (...) Skrevet af en forfatter, som virkelig kan skrive. ****** Ist enthalten in
Beginning in the middle of crisis, then accelerating through plots that grow stranger by the page, Naja Marie Aidt's stories have a feel all their own. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
