Skifting : fortællinger

Af Charlotte Weitze (2003)

I nordisk og keltisk folketradition kunne mennesker lokkes af bjergfolk og ellefolk ind i "bjergene": høje, bakker og store sten. Hvis de vendte tilbage, var de blevet tungsindige, sære eller vilde. Man har set bjergtagningsmyten som tidlige forsøg på at forklare forandringer af sinds- og sjælelig art. I Charlotte Weitzes anden samling fortællinger, BJERGTAGET, handler det også om folk som drager bort, viskes ud, opsluges eller på anden måde forsvinder ind i en anden verden. Nogle kommer tilbage igen, men forandrede. Andre synes at forsvinde for stedse. Eller er det den verden, de kom fra, som har ændret sig og ikke længere kan kende dem?

”Med en blændende sprogbevidsthed og frydefuldt let stemme fortæller Charlotte Weitze moderne eventyr. Små fantastiske fortællinger, der udspiller sig i miljøer vi kender så godt, men altså med en overnaturlig drejning, der får de mest uhyrlige ting til at ske ... Den bare 24-årige Weitze er en stor oplevelse at være i kontakt med. Hun fortæller sgu en historie, så man holder kæft og hører efter. Man kan, tør og vil ikke andet. ”

Endnu et bette nyk

Af Gynther Hansen (f. 1930) (2003)

Erindringer fra efterkrigstiden. I "Endnu et bette nyk - erindringer fra efterkrigstiden" beretter Gynther Hansen om tiden efter besættelsen. Bror Lorenz har siddet i fængsel i Fårhuslejren efter samarbejdet med tyskerne. Papa, der i begyndelsen af krigen faldt om med et hjerteslag på vej på cykel fra Varnæs til Flensborg, er døende. Og Mama tænker efter krigen blot endnu mere på, hvad naboerne tænker, og på hvordan familien klarer sig. Alt begynder forfra, da krigen slutter - og så alligevel ikke. For Gynther er ikke gået upåvirket gennem krigen. Han er formet af krigens og Sønderjyllands splittelse mellem det tyske og det danske, mellem de sejrende og de slagne. Efter krigen følger årene på Biblioteksskolen i København, de store sejlture over Atlanten, soldatertiden i Danmark og under dansk kommando i Tyskland. Og selvfølgelig forfatterdrømmene, der kun langsomt bliver omsat til virkelighed. "Endnu et bette nyk" er en gribende og usentimental skæbneberetning af næsten episk karakter, som Gynther Hansen fortæller med uforvansket stemme.

Reading Lolita in Tehran : A Memoir in Books

Af Azar Nafisi (2003)

Summary: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • We all have dreams—things we fantasize about doing and generally never get around to. This is the story of Azar Nafisi’s dream and of the nightmare that made it come true. A KIRKUS REVIEWS BEST NONFICTION BOOK OF THE CENTURY For two years before she left Iran in 1997, Nafisi gathered seven young women at her house every Thursday morning to read and discuss forbidden works of Western literature. They were all former students whom she had taught at university. Some came from conservative and religious families, others were progressive and secular; several had spent time in jail. They were shy and uncomfortable at first, unaccustomed to being asked to speak their minds, but soon they began to open up and to speak more freely, not only about the novels they were reading but also about themselves, their dreams and disappointments. Their stories intertwined with those they were reading—Pride and Prejudice, Washington Square, Daisy Miller and Lolita—their Lolita, as they imagined her in Tehran. Nafisi’s account flashes back to the early days of the revolution, when she first started teaching at the University of Tehran amid the swirl of protests and demonstrations. In those frenetic days, the students took control of the university, expelled faculty members and purged the curriculum. When a radical Islamist in Nafisi’s class questioned her decision to teach The Great Gatsby, which he saw as an immoral work that preached falsehoods of “the Great Satan,” she decided to let him put Gatsby on trial and stood as the sole witness for the defense. Azar Nafisi’s luminous tale offers a fascinating portrait of the Iran-Iraq war viewed from Tehran and gives us a rare glimpse, from the inside, of women’s lives in revolutionary Iran. It is a work of great passion and poetic beauty, written with a startlingly original voice

Still Alive : A Holocaust Girlhood Remembered

Af Ruth Kluger (2003)

Summary: A controversial bestseller likened to Primo Levi and Elie Wiesel, Still Alive is a harrowing and fiercely bittersweet Holocaust memoir of survival: "a book of breathtaking honesty and extraordinary insight" (Los Angeles Times). Swept up as a child in the events of Nazi-era Europe, Ruth Kluger saw her family's comfortable Vienna existence systematically undermined and destroyed. By age eleven, she had been deported, along with her mother, to Theresienstadt, the first in a series of concentration camps which would become the setting for her precarious childhood. Interwoven with blunt, unsparing observations of childhood and nuanced reflections of an adult who has spent a lifetime thinking about the Holocaust, Still Alive rejects all easy assumptions about history, both political and personal. Whether describing the abuse she met at her own mother's hand, the life-saving generosity of a woman SS aide in Auschwitz, the foibles and prejudices of Allied liberators, or the cold shoulder offered by her relatives when she and her mother arrived as refugees in New York, Kluger sees and names an unexpected reality which has little to do with conventional wisdom or morality tales. "Among the reasons that Still Alive is such an important book is its insistence that the full texture of women's existence in the Holocaust be acknowledged, not merely as victims. . . . Kluger insists that we look at the Holocaust as honestly as we can, which to her means being unsentimental about the oppressed as well as about their oppressors." — Washington Post Book World
