Fiction. Literature. HTML:The best-selling, Pulitzer Prizeâ??winning author of The Road returns with the second volume of The Passenger series: Stella Maris is an intimate portrait of grief and longing, as a young woman in a psychiatric facility seeks to understand her own existence.

1972, BLACK RIVER FALLS, WISCONSIN: Alicia Western, twenty years old, with forty thousand dollars in a plastic bag, admits herself to the hospital. A doctoral candidate in mathematics at the University of Chicago, Alicia has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, and she does not want to talk about her brother, Bobby. Instead, she contemplates the nature of madness, the human insistence on one common experience of the world; she recalls a childhood where, by the age of seven, her own grandmother feared for her; she surveys the intersection of physics and philosophy; and she introduces her cohorts, her chimeras, the hallucinations that only she can see. All the while, she grieves for Bobby, not quite dead, not quite hers. Told entirely through the transcripts of Aliciaâ??s psychiatric sessions, Stella Maris is a searching, rigorous, intellectually challenging coda to The Passenger, a philosophical inquiry that questions our notions of God, truth, and exis

Doesn't really seem like a novel to me, more like extra material relating to The Passenger. Maybe something like Tolkien's Silmarillion writings? Worth reading if you're into the main text. ( )

USA, Wisconsin, Black River Falls, den psykiatriske institution og hospice "Stella Maris", 1972
Mærkelig bog. Det er en slags dialog mellem en psykiater dr Cohen og Alicia (som er Bobby's søster, som nævnt i "Passageren"). Bogen hænger på den måde sammen med "Passageren". Hvert af de syv kapitler er en terapi-session. Alicia er i 1972 20 år gammel og professionel matematiker. Hun har opgivet matematik (topologi og topos-teori) fordi hun er blevet distraheret (af topologi og topos-teori). Hun har arbejdet sammen med Grothendieck (som er 44 på dette tidspunkt) på et institut oprettet til ham og en Dieudonne af en russer Motchane. (Hun nævner også Bourbaki, Riemann, Euklid, Hilbert, Poincaré, Dedekind, Cantor). Hun lader sig indskrive på den åbne afdeling og har taget en pose pengesedler med. Over 40000 dollars. Hun har sammen med sin bror arvet en hoben penge i form af kontanter og guldmønter, men uden at have de store behov. Hun har købt en Amati-violin for 230.000 dollars og er god til at spille violin, men ikke koncertviolinist. Hun er taget ind på Stella Maris for at slippe for at skulle tage stilling til om man skal slukke for respiratoren, der holder hendes bror Bob i live efter en ulykke i Italien. Hendes far arbejdede på Manhattanprojektet som fysiker. Hun er født den 25 december 1951. Hendes mor arbejdede ved en calutron for Manhattanprojektet, dvs berigning af Uran vha acceleratorer. Lawrence opfandt cyklotronen og kom af og til forbi og skruede op for strømmen til calutronerne og gik igen. Fem minutter efter stod det hele i flammer. Flere terapi-sessioner. Hun fortæller om planer for at drukne sig i Lake Tahoe, men den er for dyb og for kold. Og om at være forelsket i Bobby. På en meget legemlig og fysisk måde, men Bobby ville ikke vide af det, så det blev aldrig til noget. Den sidste session ender med at Alicia beder dr Cohen om at holde hende i hånden "fordi det er det folk gør, når de venter på at noget slutter".

Jeg kan godt lide at Alicia gamer stanford-binet IQ-testen for at se om hun kan score præcis 100 på den. Jeg kan ikke lide fornemmelsen af at Alicia og Cohen er to sokkedyr, hvis dialog bruges til at udstille at forfatteren har læst Arthur Schopenhauer, Immanuel Kant, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Willard Van Orman Quine, John Horton Conway, Kurt Gödel, David Hilbert, John von Neumann, Gottlob Frege og så videre og så videre.

73. Stella Maris by Cormac McCarthy
OPD: 2022
format: 190-page hardcover
acquired: April read: Dec 19-21 time reading: 5:26, 1.7 mpp
rating: 4
genre/style: contemporary fiction theme: McCarthy & TBR
locations: Black River Falls, WI, 1972
about the author: 1933-2023. American author born in Providence, Rhode Island, who grew up mainly in Tennessee.

Expecting to be lost in complex ideas, instead I found this thoroughly enjoyable. It's all a conversation between a genius who has given up math, and now entered herself into a psychiatric ward, and a doctor who questions her and records the conversations, with her approval. I just found it fun to spend time here. The last 20 pages were a little tough, but otherwise it goes by on a quick dialogue pace the whole way. You can follow as well as her doctor can, who isn't a genius. So, it's very accessible. It's like McCarthy's comfort zone as writer.

On a side note, I was intrigued by the doctor, whose name is Michael, leaving me with the impression of St. Michael guarding the gates of heaven, or here the gates of the psychiatric ward. He has to play a perfect role to make this book work. Not entirely professional, but seemingly so. He has to be worthy listener. It works, and Alicia's confessions flow out in ways that allow the reader to think and enjoy (while knowing from [The Passenger] the tragedy around this.)

The coda to The Passenger reads more like a sequel to The Sunset Limited screenplay. ( )
  A.Godhelm | Oct 20, 2023 |
"Stella Maris" di Cormac McCarthy è un romanzo complesso che affronta diversi temi profondi. Ecco alcuni dei temi esplorati nel libro:
La soggettività e la sospensione della verità oggettiva: uno dei temi centrali delle conversazioni in "Stella Maris" è il privilegio della verità soggettiva rispetto a quella oggettiva.
La matematica e la fisica quantistica: il romanzo esplora anche la matematica e la fisica quantistica, con particolare attenzione alla natura della conoscenza.
La malattia mentale: il personaggio principale, Alicia Western, è una geniale matematica che si trova in una clinica psichiatrica in Wisconsin. Il romanzo esplora la sua malattia mentale e le sue conseguenze.
L'amore e la famiglia: Alicia è innamorata del fratello e il romanzo esplora la complessità delle relazioni familiari.
La morte e la fine della vita: il romanzo affronta anche il tema della morte e della fine della vita, con particolare attenzione alla ricerca di un senso nella vita.
In generale, "Stella Maris" è un romanzo impegnativo e complesso che affronta temi profondi e complessi, con uno stile di scrittura particolare e non convenzionale.
