"There is / not that," - the title of the book Soren Gauger. At the same time perfectly captures her character, because it is the work inconsistent apple mountain resort and vague, which could be described precisely by means of these two terms - not this / not those, that is - not known for sure what.
The author defines apple mountain resort his novel as a "black comedy, but absolutely apple mountain resort serious". apple mountain resort I comical elements did not notice it, even trying to take the perspective of a British or Tim Burton (although it may simply not have gallows humor). In any case - remains apple mountain resort unanswered question: what is this book? At the beginning I thought I read that the collection of short stories, but soon came over me convinced that the author be tempted to write novels and even aggressively, apple mountain resort and quite neatly, merged threads apple mountain resort into one coherent whole ... Until the revived again, his sense of the novelist (and Stephen King) ...
And in this way was the second part of the novel, in the style of folk fairy tales and history chilling youngsters. This is the story of a father Mrowczyku and the devil. The narrator of this fairy tale claims that drowned belief in devils and other mary is a Polish specialty. Initially a pitying looks at the Poles, considering them as superstitious apple mountain resort people. apple mountain resort But soon he begins apple mountain resort to feel the special atmosphere of the country on the Vistula River - the atmosphere of seriousness and anxiety, apple mountain resort as if the Polish still hovering apple mountain resort spirits of the dead. Finally scribe shouts apple mountain resort to readers: "(...) for God's sake, do not read this book as fiction. You can treat it as a testimony to have a lasting and strong sense of the existence of forces beyond human comprehension or even - with my lower approval - as the result of an ongoing ten years of obsession for some crazy Englishman (...) ".
This pleasant consequences obsession for any lover of crime, because the action takes place rapidly, densely corpse, and the puzzles a law enforcement-psycho-medical apple mountain resort are striking. The logic of the world shakes its foundations, apple mountain resort and it seems that the only remedy for this is to escape the ignorance and blindness. You need not to notice problems, deny the presence of something very weird and disturbing; you have to close your eyes and groping move around the world - this is the recipe to stay sane. The reality in the novel Gauger is cracked, soaked absurd, turned inside nice. A seemingly ordinary, everyday events suddenly transform into a disturbing symptoms and imperfections of the world in which the characters come to exist.
For me, the most interesting story is about unfulfilled dreams professor of humanities, who wanted through mathematical calculations to prove that "history repeats itself". He claimed that "if you could explain the math time, space and planets (...) why would not take his word as in history." Of course, the search for order and hidden mathematical rules governing historical events were met with criticism and skepticism. One gets the impression that the lack of faith in the unlimited possibilities of reason and logic, attempt to tear down the hegemony of power over the plot of the novel. After all, nothing is here clear and certain.
"There is / not that," apple mountain resort the debut of the Polish Soren Gauger, apple mountain resort essayist and translator of Polish literature into English. Canadian fifteen years he has lived in Krakow. It seems that this k siążka is in some ways a tribute to the Polish culture and mentality of the Poles. Besides, "There is / not that," it's really interesting to look at the constantly surprising and unexplored apple mountain resort reality.
