Commentary During Books Gantenbein

Okay, now that I have finished the book for the second time, I feel up to writing a review about it. Now I feel I have halfway captured what is even going on. Or not going on. Because, let’s face it, 95% of what is happening in this book is not even happening. Okay? Wait, first things first. This book is amazing. I shit you not. It fascinated me every time over when I opened it withing a few sentences I was just baffled. Frisch’s writing style is incredible, and he manages to convey so many emotions, so deep and unimaginable feelings in such an everyday language. None of the words he uses is overly sophisticated, but together they form an exquisite example of highly poetic literature. I can not stress enough how good this book is. And that is even though virtually nothing happens. It’s an amazing tale of fantasy and escapism, of searching for identity, of exploring life in only your mind, of sonder. Oh, so much sonder. There are so many layers. Honestly guys. Forget all about Inception. There is a fuckload of layers in this book and you might need a few times, just as I needed a few times and will probably need a few more to really grasp this book in its entirety, but guys, it’s SO worth it. I can not thank my Literature teacher from high school enough for recommending this to me. She, too, was as completely captivated by this book as I am now, and with this enthusiasm she got me to read it although I didn’t like Max Frisch. It completely changed my mind. This is a book that will occasionally make you laugh, occasionally bring you to the verge of tears, quite a few times present you with emotions you can relate to so much that it hurts, and always, always will it suck you completely into its world of absurdity, or confusion, of fantasy.

Crit Of Books Gantenbein

Schon klar, ausserordentlich gut komponiert. Und ganze Passagen koennten locker als Lehrmaterial par excellence in einemKurs zur Analyse der Sprachgewandheit Frischs Einzug halten.Allerdings musste ich feststellen, dass ich nach laengeren Leseabschnitten doch rechtermuedet war -- offenbar hat mich die Thematik dann doch nicht ganz so gefesselt.

Отличнейшая ядерная смесь Борхеса, Ремарка и Набокова.Дерзкая попытка ниспровержения тезиса о том, что история не терпит сослагательного наклонения.Плюс лютое количество хорошо прописанной ванили на страницу текста.

Max Frisch was een grootheid, die volgens veel mensen de Nobelprijs had moeten krijgen, en in 2013 las ik met veel plezier zijn prachtboeken "Stiller", "Homo Faber" en "Dagboek 1946-1949" (zie recensies). Nu heb ik dan "Gantenbein" gelezen, ook met veel plezier, ondanks de wat houterige vertaling. Wat een heerlijk sprankelende en tegendraadse schrijver was die Frisch toch! En hoe origineel en stimulerend! In het prachtige "Stiller" roept de hoofdpersoon ons toe "Ik ben Stiller niet", en schotelt

ამ წიგნის დამთავრებას ვუძღვნი ვარდოსა და თანდექსას, რომელთაც არასდროს დაუკარგავთ ჩემი რწმენა

I was enjoying this for about the first 200 pages, but then got pretty bogged down and eventually stopped caring what happened to these characters. I like Frisch, but this one is just too damned long. I still gave it 3 cuz there's plenty of his gems on human nature.

"Tinklainė apsaugo nuo nuojautos, kurią mumyse sukelia beveik kiekvienas garsas, ir nuo laiko; matosi, ką dabar rodo laikrodis ana ten Sankt Peteryje, o laikrodžiai visada rodo dabartį.""Gantenbainui palengvėja kaskart pagalvojus, kad iš tikrųjų jis ne aklas; pypkės skonis būtų kitoks, jei nematytum dūmų, kartus, slopinantis kaip tabletė ar injekcija, bet nelinksmas.""Moterys niekada iki galo nepatiki jo aklumu, kas joms raištis, moterys jaučia pakaušiu, kai į jas žiūrima.""Kiekvienas žmogus

I want to trust my judgement and that's putting me between a rock and a hard place.The rock is my respect for Frisch: if he wrote it, I'm going to read it.The hard place is my 'arrggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh, it's an experimental novel. Even worse, it's an anti-novel. Stop it, stop reading it right now.'I bought two books this morning I'd really like to start on...but first I'm going to pick this up again for the first time in a week.I'm up to page - ? Does it matter in a book like this? Page somewhere.
