It was only missing his three dots… Sparse staccato dialogue interspersed with hallucinogenic visions. It was as if Weiner was indicating that everything is ridiculous: war, prostitution, racism, nations, religion, love, homosexuality, God… everything is absurd. That was the message I got out the book. I am so glad that I discovered this author. It is a relief to know that someone is writing this way today. It is serious art. It not only reminded me of Celine but also Genet, Burroughs, and Artaud. Elegantly grotesque and brilliantly conceived. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
This extraordinary novel, moodily operatic in tone and by turns hallucinatory and brilliantly detailed, follows the trajectories of four sailors and the owner of a German merchant ship, Yellow Sailor, which sets sail from Bremen in 1914. After the ship wrecks in shallow water, the men drift their separate ways, with each man's journey across a desolate wartime European landscape becoming an exploration of the failure of love, sex, religion, and friendship. Julius Bernai, owner of the ship and frankly homosexual, checks into an institute for nervous disorders and falls in love with the doctor's fiancée. Nicholas Bremml drifts: from the beds of numerous prostitutes to an oil tanker called Erwartung-- Expectation--to Prague's Jewish market, where he sells magic spells. Brothers Karl and Alois are equally rudderless, and Jacek, the electrician, goes to work in the mines, where his love advice to a fourteen-year-old Polish boy precipitates a macabre murder.
