Synopsis

Ronald Pohl's novel "The Inverted Glove" completes a trilogy with the poem volume "Signor Mongibello" and with the narrative "Donna Malerba" (in: "The Vagneck") a trilogy in the centre of Etna. For a good part, the tangled stories about country nobility, provincial honoratiors as well as the photographer and bride advertiser of Gloeden from the last book are taken up again from the last book, but now tells in an inverted perspective: from the I-position of the ehelless malerba, from that of her father or from their antipodes. The entanglements in wedding handling, dowry hunting, daughter chess and "disposal" remain as opaque as the profitable participation of some actors in the fascist regime. For such a milieu of tendrils and adjustment, the author creates a language form of highest ambivalence: a real explosion of metaphors proves the volcano named "Signor Mongibello" its reverence, exquisite words and phrases of earlier eras cover the narrative with a sulphuric fog layer, and spread everywhere. be the growing syntax. Hardly a sentence remains without rhetorical jewellery: where it comes to covering up and deceiving, the "unactual" expression turns out to be an instrument of domination. Ronald Pohl shows himself once again as a master of wink reprogramming historical and contemporary style registers with his novel "The Inverted Glove".
