"My mother has been dead for almost seven weeks: I had better go to work before the need to write about her, which I felt so strongly at her funeral, dies away and I fall back into the dull speechlessness with which I reacted to the nerves of her suicide."
So begins Peter Handke's extraordinary confrontation with his mother's death. In a painful and courageous attempt to deal with the almost intolerable horror of her suicide, he sets out to piece together the facts of her life, as he perceives them. What emerges is a loving portrait of inconsolable grief, a woman whose lively spirit has been crushed not once but over and over again by the miseries of her place and time. Yet well into middle age, living in the Austrian village of her birth, she still remains haunted by her dreams.

2019年诺奖得主Peter Handke的回忆录A sorrow beyond dreams。全书回忆了Handke母亲被她所处的时代和环境一次次压垮的过程,以至于她最终在51岁时服下100颗安眠药结束了她的苦难生活。和之前读过的埃尔诺的回忆录A man’s place 相比,此书写作手法过于朴质和压缩,也没有通过对母亲身边的人物的描写来反映她的内心世界,毕竟Handke写这本书时才31岁。看此... 2019年诺奖得主Peter Handke的回忆录A sorrow beyond dreams。全书回忆了Handke母亲被她所处的时代和环境一次次压垮的过程,以至于她最终在51岁时服下100颗安眠药结束了她的苦难生活。和之前读过的埃尔诺的回忆录A man’s place 相比,此书写作手法过于朴质和压缩,也没有通过对母亲身边的人物的描写来反映她的内心世界,毕竟Handke写这本书时才31岁。看此书之前不并不知道Handke既是诗人也是小说家,既是编剧也是电影导演。也许他的电影和戏剧更胜小说一筹吧!

中译差好多。他用传记的方式写的,用自己的口吻解读母亲的一生,很少见的小说,因为是一种“解读混乱”的方式还原“生活的混乱”。内核更像随笔,词语的密度过高

But there was an incurable sadness in her eyes; Her pupils were out of kilter,displaced from the centre of her irises.

Painfully familiar. Completely depressing.
