This book was actually read for an Estonian culture/history class I was taking at college. ( ) "Quando vien fuori che sei dell’Europa dell’Est ti guardano con compassione e dicono una frase fatta, come se parlassero con il congiunto di uno appena morto", così Emil Tode, pseudonimo di Tõnu Õnnepalu, ci parla di appartenenza, di sdradicamento, di esilio. Il giovane traduttore estone, protagonista di questo romanzo scritto in forma epistolare, viaggia attraverso l'Europa e giunge a Parigi. Splendide descrizioni dei luoghi e dei sentimenti, toccanti gli eventi descritti e le memorie di infanzia attraverso le lettere che il giovane non ha mai spedite. Il rapporto inconciliabile tra est e ovest che il Baltico soffre da millenni è la riflessione profonda alla base di questo bellissimo romanzo. I once saw the words "border state" in a newspaper. That was how they labeled the country from which I came. It was a political term. Very appropriate, by the way. A border state is nonexistent. There is something on one side and something on the other side of the border, but there is no border. There is a highway, and a field of gratin with a farmhouse under tall, thirsty trees, but where is the border between them? It's invisible. And if you should happen to stand on the border, then you too are invisible, from either side. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Winner of the 1993 Baltic Assembly Prize An immediate sensation upon its 1993 publication in Europe, already translated into more than a dozen languages, Border State is a brilliantly realized account of a man in the grip of Western excess, emotionally crippled by a world that is subsuming his own and inhabiting a West in which "all countries have become imaginary deserts of ruins where crowds of nomads roam from one attraction to the other." His tale, in which disillusion and murder become inextricably linked, is a compelling exploration of scarcity, longing, and madness. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
