 Loneliness, lethargy, depression, and vague but unmistakable feelings of anxiety pervade most of the characters and the overall mood of the book. These senses of aloneness, isolation, and unease are reminiscent of the short stories of Anton Chekhov and Sherwood Anderson. Mr. Oz’s stories almost have a sense of the uncanny yet contain no supernatural elements. Fans of Mr. Oz’s novels and his memoir A Tale of Love and Darkness will find this book lacks the narrative and psychological complexity of those longer works—but that’s not a fair comparison...Mr. Oz’s signature prose style is undiminished in this shorter format, and Nicholas de Lange’s British translation meets the high standard Mr. Oz’s Anglophone readers have come to expect of him. Oz is a versatile writer, and he returns, in his fine new story collection, “Scenes From Village Life,” to a spare, almost allegorical style, in which the silence around the words also signifies. Admirably rendered in English by Oz’s longtime translator, Nicholas de Lange, these linked stories prove achingly melancholy, a cumulative vision of anomie and isolation in an apparently cozy Israeli village. Echoes of Sherwood Anderson are unmistakable here: Tel Ilan is Oz’s Winesburg, Ohio, a place of supposed community and mutual support in which each soul struggles privately with longing and disappointment. Each of the collection’s eight stories shows someone searching, either literally or metaphorically, and without success, for relief. Some venture toward the gothic: “Lost,” about a real estate agent’s eager and ultimately eerie visit to the crumbling mansion he hopes to buy, raze and redevelop, reads like something by Edgar Allan Poe. Others are slightly fantastical: the first story has something of Isaac Bashevis Singer, and the last is reminiscent of Kafka.  Amos Oz tar det lugnt. Kanske lite väl lugnt. Han litar på sin penna och sin varma och vänliga berättarauktoritet. Det räcker långt, men jag känner mig ändå lite oengagerad när boken är slut. Premi e riconoscimenti

HTML: "Scenes from Village Life is like a symphony, its movements more impressive together than in isolation. There is, in each story, a particular chord or strain; but taken together, these chords rise and reverberate, evoking an unease so strong it's almost a taste in the mouth . . . Scenes from Village Life is a brief collection, but its brevity is a testament to its force. You will not soon forget it."??New York Times Book Review Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
