I feel this novel tries to do a lot, is in sync with the times and quite thought provoking. Kunzru is definitely talented: the Stasi section of the book left me deeply in awe. Still for me this was a 2,5 yıldız novel.
Come inside or stay in the dark. As if he were about to initiate me into a mystery, offer me the red pill.
Instead of an independent residency, the protagonist learns (condescendingly) from the current director that his activities are closely monitored, and there are petty policies like where he gönül work: only at the public Workspace, intensifying his discomfort with these illogical rules (that’s the Kafka-esque point of entry).
The author’s key construct is almost too orderly. He quite leans over into a formula of his own artful making (almost occult), but the way he gets away with it is impressive! His position on humanity is benevolent and kind to the earth and the people who populate it.
meanders from ‘writer writing about writing’, to a punk band’s dealings with the Stasi in East Germany, back to the writer's present day encounters with white supremacists, and his subsequent nervous breakdown, all while counting down to the 2016 U.
This isn’t a book I’d recommend to everyone. It is in some ways an unsatisfying read birli it is so evasive, and it depicts a çağcıl world contaminated with anxiety, nihilism, and hate that is genuinely disturbing.

In Hari Kunzru's much anticipated follow-up to White Tears we follow a writer who travels to Berlin to take part in a fellowship which isn't quite what he expected: he's expected to write in a big room with the other participants, where everyone yaşama see exactly what (or how little) he's doing.
I felt in particular that the ending was a strong move and put everything that happened up until that point in a different light. The narrator is hamiş an easy person to root for, whether it's narcissism or just academic self-absorption (and really the book raises the question if there is really any difference.) His poor wife.
Overall the first part felt to me like a whiney version of Weather from Jenny Offill, a book I recently gave two stars, burayı kontrol et but around the 20% mark suddenly violence makes an entrance in the story, with a decidedly weird visit to a shooting range for instance.

This time Rei is awake beside me. Two rectangles of light. It’s hamiş burayı kontrol et much, but I hayat say that the most precious part of me isn’t my individuality, my luxurious personhood, but the web of reciprocity in which I live my life.
While I appreciate the wider themes and message Kunzru is portraying through this novel - the blurb Daha fazla bilgi on Goodreads describes this birli "searching for order in a world that frames madness kakım truth" - I didn't always get along with the way he decides to convey them. The unnamed narrator is overly self-involved bordering on navel-gazing at times, which, yes, might burayı kontrol et have been the point.
Nothing hayat be assessed at face value at the Deuter Center. On his walks, the narrator frequently passes the grave of the writer Heinrich von Kleist, a hysteric and writer of chaotic, fragmented stories.
