Reading Sam Shepard, for me, is tantamount to being knocked off of my feet by a flash flood. Whisked through canyons and desert and dry river beds. Coyotes barking, eagles soaring overhead, snakes slithering past. Blazing sun and horizontal snow. Damaged characters waiting for my arrival. Waiting to damage me. An unprotected world. Unprotected shelter, unprotected wildlife, unprotected sex, unprotected thoughts, unprotected consequences. The curse of the starving class. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. I love reading Sam Shepard. ( ) The foreword by Patti Smith was incomprehensible, which forewarned me that the book itself, when I got to it, would be unusual. Smith was trying hard to channel the rhythm and slant-ness of Shepard's writing, and failed. Her attempt, though, points out the difficulty of saying anything definitive about what Shepard has written here. The experience of reading Shepard's prose was so interesting. The words I was reading evoked strong memories in me of things I hadn't thought about for years, and that had nothing to do with the words on the page. I gave up trying to understand exactly what was going on. The strange jittering fragmentation of the story, with its many guilt-laden meanders into regret for the past, carried me into meanings that might not have had anything to do with what the author wrote.

Shepard's novel "opens with a man in his house at dawn, surrounded by aspens, coyotes cackling in the distance as he quietly navigates the distance between present and past. More and more, memory is overtaking him: in his mind he sees himself in a movie-set trailer, his young face staring back at him in a mirror surrounded by light bulbs. In his dreams and in visions he sees his late father--sometimes in miniature, sometimes flying planes, sometimes at war. By turns, he sees the bygone America of his childhood: the farmland and the feedlots, the rail yards and the diners--and, most hauntingly, his father's young girlfriend, with whom he also became involved, setting into motion a tragedy that has stayed with him"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
