Rezension von George Patrick Hane2nd read: What a mindfuck. This time it was even more disorienting and oppressive. The loss of control that the protagonist experiences on the plot level is also experienced by the reader, because the text constantly shifts between different time and narrative layers. I think I'll have to read it a third time to really collect my thoughts and basically just understand it. This book is really nasty. 1st read: Incredible. I have never in my life read something like that, and I’m still not even sure what I just read. When I finished this book, I just sat on my bed for minutes and stared perplexed into nowhere with a multitude of obscure feelings.
Rezension von Juliaargentinische Erzählkunst sei oft in einem Zwischenreich verortet, wo niemand sagen kann, was stimmt und was nicht. Dieser Roman bewohnt dieses Zwischenreich ganz formidabel: die Erzählerin hat einen Fibertraum und rekonstruiert die Ereignisse, die zu dieser Krankheit geführt haben. Bereits auf den ersten Seiten scheint klar: sie wird sterben. Und bis dahin erzählt sie uns alles was sie weiß. Die Geschichte hat eine wunderbare Dynamik, die Ereignisse gleichen einer literarischen Lawine. Bis sie es nicht mehr tun, bis es so abstrakt und unwahr wird, dass ich beim lesen nicht mehr hinterherkam. Zudem hat mich das Ende sehr enttäuscht. Das Buch wirkt beinahe unfertig. Ein interessanter Einblick in die Literatur Argentiniens, aber ein unbefriedigendes Narrativ.
