"A raucous and brilliant anatomy of a breakdown by Emmanuel Carrère, one of our brightest and most surprising international writers"-- "Emmanuel Carrère is a renowned writer. After decades of emotional upheaval, he has begun to live successfully--he is healthy; he works; he loves. He practices meditation, striving to observe the world without evaluating it. In this state of heightened awareness, he sets out for a ten-day silent retreat in the French heartland, leaving his phone, his books, and his daily life behind. But he's also gathering material for his next book, which he thinks will be a pleasant, useful introduction to yoga. Four days later, there's a tap on the window: something has happened. Forced to leave the retreat early, he returns to a Paris in crisis. Life is derailed. His city is in turmoil. His work-in-progress falters. His marriage begins to unravel, as does his entanglement with another woman. He wavers between opposites--between self-destruction and self-control; sanity and madness; elation and despair. The story he has told about himself falls away. And still, he continues to live. This is a book about one man's desire to get better, and to be better. It is laced with doubt, animated by the dangerous interplay between what is fiction and what is real. Loving, humorous, harrowing and profound, Yoga hurls us towards the outer edges of consciousness, where, finally, we can see things as they really are"--… (altro)

Auch dieses Buch ist mir zuerst bei eat.READ.sleep begegnet und obwohl ich es nicht auf die Wishlist genommen habe, konnte ich nicht wiederstehen, als ich es in der OBCZ „Blaues Haus“ gesehen habe.
Insgesamt ist es eine Auseinandersetzung mit „Yoga“ als Auseinandersetzung mit dem eigenen Leben und einem spirituellen Weg. Zunächst im Buch ist Carrère 2015 in einem Vipassana-Zentrum. Das fand ich sehr interessant, weil mein Sohn ein Vipassana -Anhänger ist und seit vielen Jahren nach dieser Methode, speziell nach Goenka, meditiert.
Dann allerdings gibt es einen Bruch, denn Carrère kehrt aufgrund des Anschlags auf Charlie Hebdo vorzeitig zurück und dann bricht ihm alles weg, ihm wird mit 60 Jahren eine bipolare Störung diagnostiziert und sein bislang gutes Leben kehrt sich um. Ja, das ist ein interessanter Twist und es ist eine neue Auseinandersetzung mit dem Sinn des Lebens. Was ist Yoga, was ist Spiritualität? Carrère geht davon aus, dass Dostojewski näher an der Wahrheit ist als der Dalai Lama. Ich sehe das nicht so, aber mir ist klar, dass jemand, der so lebenshungrig (mitunter manisch) ist wie Carrère, das so sehen muss.
Ein guter Handlungstrang ist noch der Aufenthalt auf der Flüchtlingsinsel in Griechenland. Denn da wird deutlich, das Leben im Endeffekt für viele Menschen lediglich „Überleben“ bedeutet. Das gefiel mir gut. Vieles an dem Buch wird lange nachhallen, auch das schöne Video von Martha Argerich.
Obwohl Carrère oft betont, „ohne Falsch“ zu schreiben, ist im Buch selbst und der Rezeption nachher deutlich, dass es nicht „wahr“ ist. Dennoch fand ich es gut. ( )

I found this book to be an exceptionally sincere and well written account of mental sufferance. It reminded me of Styron's "Darkness visible".
It speaks to all those who are fighting mental illness every day of their life and to those who are trying to get a bit of peace by practicing meditation or yoga.

Fictie of non fictie? Heerlijk verhalend (vanuit zichzelf) beschreven en op aangename manier (al lezend dus) veel bijgeleerd, eerder nog over meditatie en rai chi dan over yoga. ( )

Libro che mette in discussione la relazione fra mondo interiore ed esteriore, nonché (come credo in tutto Carrere, di cui questo è il primo libro che leggo) fra verità e invenzione rispetto alla dimensione del racconto (e della "auto-fiction", come si è soliti chiamarla) e infine, più in generale, fra vero e falso (vedi anche le dichiarazioni dell'ex moglie). La vicenda si sviluppa in modo frammentato e imprevedibile, seguendo i "salti" che la vita del protagonista (o quanto meno la sua narrazione relativa a essa) subisce, mettendo in luce, comunque la si guardi, una condizione di malessere e sofferenza, che è presente fin dalla prima (lenta, a tratti noiosa) parte per poi esplodere a partire dalla seconda.

Wurde mir als "Knausgard, nur krasser" empfohlen. Kann mit dem aber nicht mithalten, schon allein, weil er Carrere ganz im Gegenteil wie ein sympathischer Kerl wirkt. Der literarischen Qualität ist das aber nicht zuträglich. Dazu stehen die drei Teile auch ziemlich unverbunden nebeneinander. ( )
