Translated from the Dutch by Adrienne Dixon. 150 pages. hardcover. keywords: Europe Netherlands Literature Translated Dutch World Literature. DESCRIPTION - A gripping tale of mental disintegration, from one of the premier writers of the Netherlands. MAYBE IT IS ON account of the snow that I feel so tired. Even in the morning.' Thus begins a remarkable account of disorientation, narrated by an old man whose stability is being shaken ever more often by forgetfulness. Maarten's life has not been easyhe survived the Nazi invasion of Holland and later adjusted to a difficult move to Americabut he does have his loving wife Vera, many interests, and memories that make him feel young. Gradually, though, his confusion and anxiety deepen; familiar objects become unfamiliar and, strangely, even Vera seems somehow upset by his very presence. The chilling effect on the reader is the growing realization that Maarten's thoughtsmirrored in the novel's prosebecome increasingly disjointed as his sanity slips away. Maarten's inability to remember with any clarity the life he has spent with his wife, and his confusion over events (is he being confronted by doctors and why would they want to see him? Or are his tormentors German soldiers?) and people (is it Vera who puts him to bed? Isn't it that beautiful young girl, his first love?) leads tragically towards complete oblivion. Bernlef, who has long been interested in perceptions of reality and the self, here explores with the intensity of a surgeon a specific form of personal disappearance: the process and progress of senility. It is a remarkable voyage of discovery and fear. inventory #12654. Seller Inventory # z12654
