Little known masterpiece,
By RomaArdet "RomaArdet" (Earth) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Scarred Hearts (Hardcover)
I have been waiting for a translation of Scarred Hearts for years. Within the last several years the book was translated in both French and German to wide spread acclaim. Scarred Hearts has been compared to the works of Kafka. Like most books so compared, Scarred Hearts resembles Kafka only faintly, barely visibly.
We are lucky because Max Blecher writes beautifully, in a voice fully his own. His writing is limpid, gentle and precise. His characters endure, some times they are brave; their lives are tragic and absurd. But the book is unflinching and honest not maudlin nor melancholy. In fact Scarred Hearts is surprisingly sweet even if not happy. |
