Usædvanlig roman, som forsøger at beskrive de tyske ledere og familie i en kz lejr og en enkelr "sondere". Et meget voldsomt og uhyggeligt indblik i en verden, som stadig er ufattelig. ( )
The Zone of Interest is nothing like his great early novels, but it is the best thing he has written since London Fields. The book's postwar coda is enormously moving, the sections describing the "silent boys" of Chełmno almost unreadably sad, the figure of Szmul brilliantly rendered – at once admirable and horrifying in his desperate drive to survive. Facing the Medusa's head of Auschwitz has had a salutary effect on Amis's writing, the ethical rigours of the subject matter sloughing off the flippant and inessential. He has, yet again, been overlooked for the Man Booker prize, but this is a novel that will endure. Har tilpasningenHæderspriserDistinctionsNotable Lists
"From one of England's most renowned authors, an unforgettable new novel that provides a searing portrait of life-and, shockingly, love-in a concentration camp. Once upon a time there was a king, and the king commissioned his favorite wizard to create a magic mirror. This mirror didn't show you your reflection. It showed you your soul-it showed you who you really were. The wizard couldn't look at it without turning away. The king couldn't look at it. The courtiers couldn't look at it. A chestful of treasure was offered to anyone who could look at it for sixty seconds without turning away. And no one could. The Zone of Interest is a love story with a violently unromantic setting. Can love survive the mirror? Can we even meet each other's eye, after we have seen who we really are? In a novel powered by both wit and pathos, Martin Amis excavates the depths and contradictions of the human soul"-- No library descriptions found. |
