I have a problem with how a lot of people think about books... One of the most common questions I get from people is "what is that book about?" It's a fair question, as the topic or theme of a story can play a role in our level of interest in a book, and ultimately our enjoyment of it. But we can't stop there, and unfortunately a lot of people do. Take the WWII for example: it's a moment in history that has been the backdrop for literally tens of thousands of books, movies, and more, yet your reading experience from one "WWII book" could be vastly different from another. Take for example The Flanders Road by Nobel Laureate Claude Simon: ostensibly it's "about" a a French soldier fighting in WWII, yet the prose is so layered, fragmented, textured, and often simply just confusing, that you won't walk away from it having learned anything tangible about the war. Instead you'll get about as close as you can to experiencing severe trauma and the PTSD that only war can create. Conversely, a book like Dasa Drndic's Trieste (translated by Ellen Elias-Bursac) blurs the lines between fiction and nonfiction. It's a book of at times pinpoint historical accuracy, drizzled with jaw-dropping prose. Drndic uses her blindingly beautiful writing conservatively, which is at times frustrating, but ultimately makes it all the more impactful, delivering poetics at just the right time when the reader has become so starved for them, it's almost unbearable. The narrative as described on the back cover is ultimately an illusion, a thread that no matter how hard you squeeze, there just isn't enough thread to grip onto, where it will ultimately slip through your hands. All of this, like Simon's Flanders Road, gets the reader to experience something, experience what it was like to be there, to feel the way these people felt, to suffer in the same ways that they did, yet the two authors do it in such different ways, the fact that both are "about" the same time and place, is basically meaningless. So, it's okay to ask what a book is "about" but make sure you don't stop there. You'll be a better reader for it. . #Reading #literature #books #croatia
