Written between 1980 and 1986, the six stories that constitute "The Lute and the Scars" (as well as an untitled piece by the author, included here as "A and B") were transcribed from the manuscripts left by Danilo Kis following his death in 1989. Like the title story, many of these texts are autobiographical. Others resurrect protagonists belonging to Kis's fellow Central European novelists, allowing readers to identify, perhaps, depending on the level of obfuscation, fantasy, and historical accuracy, figures dreamed up by ?d'n von Horv'th and Endre Ady ("The Stateless"), by the Yugoslavian Nobel laureate Ivo Andric ("Debt"), and by Piotr Rawicz. Against a background of oppressive regimes and political exile, readers will find that the never-ending debate between death and writing continues unabated in these stories--death as allegory or as a voluntary symbolic act, and writing as the one impregnable defense, writing as the only possible means of survival.… (altro)
Danilo Kis left a strange legacy, one which becomes stranger and even more profound with this collection The Lute and The Scars, gathered posthumously. Kis took the horror of the last century and artfully displayed such as an exhibit, a case study to be probed and corrected: an attendant task for a clerk or curator. As Adam Thirlwell states in the introduction, "only by concealing a theme can you approach its total description."
My favorite story The Poet concerns one unfortunate schoolteacher who leaves a poem on a signpost ridiculing Marshal Tito. The police determine the poet's identity with procedural detachment and then once the culprit is incarcerated, push the poet to improve his verse, to make it more like Mayakovsky. You may be able to guess the outcome of that endeavor. ( )
