This is a brief book of very short stories, some only two pages. There's no traditional sense of plot or character development. I would call her style gothic minimalism. It's the sense you get when you know you're all alone but you see something move swiftly from the corner of your eye. Crystalline, laconic sentences. Death, theology, and the anxious, paranoid heart at the centre of all unhappy families. Love in its contorted form, deeply claustrophobic, poisonous, deadly. Characters range from suspicious siblings to deranged husbands to devoted 13th-century mystics to a fish in a restaurant aquarium. It's the final story, a loving tribute to Ingebord Bachmann stripped of all sentimentality, that's light as air. Her stories will haunt me.

"Fleur Jaeggy is often noted for her terse and telegraphic style, which somehow brews up a profound paradox that seems bent on haunting the reader: despite a sort of zero-at-the-bone baseline, her fiction is weirdly also incredibly moving. How does she do it? No one knows. But here, in her newest collection, I Am the Brother of XX, she does it again. Like a magician or a master criminal, who can say how she gets away with it, but whether the stories involve famous writers (Calvino, Ingeborg Bachmann, Joseph Brodsky) or baronesses or 13th-century visionaries or tormented siblings bred up in elite Swiss boarding schools, they somehow steal your heart. And they don't rest at that, but endlessly disturb your mind."--Amazon.com
"This book is twisted and hypnotizing and, somehow, downright lovely. Reading it is not unlike diving naked and headlong into a bramble of black rosebushes, so intrigued you are by their beauty: it's a swift, prickly undertaking, and you emerge the other end bloodied all over." (Daniel Johnson - the Paris Review). No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
