Everything available by Hilbig in English is outstanding; The Tidings is the best of the novellas, I would say, although it takes a few pages to get out of the writers-block starting blocks. The imagery here is astonishing, and although the palette is simple (cherry trees; ash; mannequins), the structure and combinations are all perfectly done. And later pages do redeem the writers-block bit at the start, as the art of story-telling turns out to be what the soul-less human world (i.e., the world of mannequins) lacks, and what separates it from the natural world of the cherry trees, and the ensouled world of human beings. Smart, beautiful, artful, painful. Someone give Isabel Fargo Cole a highly-paid job translating the rest of Hilbig, please. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
"Where once was a beautiful wood now stands a desolate field smothered in ash and garbage, and here a young man named Waller has terrorizing encounters with grotesque figures named "the garbagemen." As Waller becomes fascinated with these desperate men who eke out a survival by rooting through their nation's waste, he imagines they are also digging through its past as their government erases its history and walls itself off from the outside world. One of celebrated East German author Wolfgang Hilbig's most accessible and resonant works, The Tidings of the Trees is about the politics that rip us apart, the stories we tell for survival, and the absolute importance of words to nations and people. Featuring some of Hilbig's most striking, poetic, and powerful images, this flawless novella perfectly balances politics and literature."--Amazon.com. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
