Verontrustende, donkere verhalen waar de vaak groteske humor je bij verrassing neemt. Het is zoeken naar een greintje menselijkheid in deze verhalen: wat Lind op griezelige, surrealistische en/of cynische wijze in zijn personages als menselijk naar voor schuift is voor de lezer onaanvaardbaar. Een herontdekking waard. ( ) Shattering. If it were not for the fact that Lind survived the Holocaust one might think that these stories are the product of a sick mind. The truth was that the world was sick, not Jakov Lind, but the result was the same: stories that depict a surreal world where people, or their souls, rather, have become alienated from others, from the world. And for showing us that, in inimitable black-comedy prose, we must thank Jakov Lind. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Soul of Wood made Jakov Lind's reputation as one of the most boldy imaginative postwar writers and it remains his most celebrated achievement. In the title novella and six subsequent stories, Lind distorts and refashions reality to make the deepest horrors of the twentieth century his own. nbsp; Set during World War II, "Soul of Wood" is the story of Wohlbrecht, a peg-legged veteran of World War I, who smuggles Anton Barth, a paralyzed Jewish boy, to a mountain hideout after the boy's parents have been sent to their deaths. Abandoning the helpless boy to the elements, Wohlbrecht returns to Vienna, where, having been committed to an insane asylum, he helps the chief psychiatrist to administer lethal injections to other patients. But Germany is collapsing and the war will soon be over. The one way, Wohlbrecht realizes, that he can evade retribution is by returning to the woods to redeem "his" hidden Jew. Others, however, have had the same bright idea. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
