Yarden : En Berättelse

alewah | 4 autres critiques | May 25, 2024 | Om när en människa tappar fotfästet. Att vara fattig och utnyttjad. Att leva utanför de normala skyddsnäten. Om solidaritet och rättvisa. Bra om en värld man vet för lite om men lite "gnällig"½

lasseorrskog | May 20, 2014 | Kristian Lundberg, a fairly successful writer, is caught up in debt and finds himself drawn back into the world he once came from – uneducated manual labor. Working by the hour doing dirty, heavy work down in Yarden – the Malmö docks – and barley making ends meet is in a way like coming home. Soon those years of writing for a living seem like a parenthesis, and the memories of growing up poor with a schizophrenic mother come bubbling up to the surface. Stealing twenty minutes of writing every morning, Lundberg writes a slim book that is a meditation on poverty, on climbing and sliding in the class structure, on mental illness, on anger and on the harsh reality of an economic climate that is gearing more and more towards a temporary workforce. The collective punishment. The extremely monotonous work. How you can get tossed out on a whim.
This is really an extraordinary novel. Written in a harshly poetic language, it’s dense and full wrath, sadness and insight. There’s nothing vain or coquette about Lundberg’s descent into the lowest levels of society or his memories of a really tough childhood. It just is. There’s a sense of naked honesty here that really moves me. The book has been a big success among the critics, and I can only hope it serves to buy Lundberg more writing time. But I think this is a book he’ll find it hard to ever match.

GingerbreadMan | 4 autres critiques | Sep 8, 2011 | Intressant och mycket läsvärd beskrivning av arbetares villkor på 2000-talet. De lägst rankade är de som är anställda av bemanningsföretagen. Viktigt att någon som kan vill skildra detta.
Lundberg personliga historia är också fascinerande att följa. Inte en framgångssaga, direkt. Men stark.

helices | 4 autres critiques | Aug 8, 2011 | Intressant om arbete, klass och fattigdom, men också om att vara människa, att leva. Mörkt och vemodigt - omslaget är verkligen i harmoni med texten.

t.de.brabander | Aug 23, 2009 | Twee vragen dringen zich op na het lezen van Poortwachter. Eén: wie wil er in hemelsnaam nog in Malmö wonen. En twee: hoe zit het met het Prozac-verbruik voor en na publicatie?
