The History of History av Ida Hattemer-Higgins

Weird but intriguing. A woman wakes up in the woods an amnesiac obsessed with who was guilty and who was not during the Third Reich in Berlin, Germany.

Historiens historie : roman om Berlin av Ida Hattemer-Higgins

En forunderlig, mærkelig historie, som ind imellem optog mig meget og andre tider forekom meget mystisk og mærkelig. Svær at få hold på. Måske skal den læses igen.

The History of History av Ida Hattemer-Higgins

This was such an enjoyable read. Having visited Berlin a few months ago, I did all the typical sites like checkpoint charlie, the place has a veneer of fact/fiction/real/unreality that has been masterfully captured. Likewise its citizens. I totally believed Margaret's obsessions and was surprised by how stunning it was to read. Its bold exuberance of language glided its way to convey difficult and at times, harrowing content. The theme of madness is seen through a surreal landscape where hints are presented and symbols come out to play. I will most certainly re-read this at another time for on every page there are layers to strip away--the merging of historical fact with dreamlike montages shows that the difference between story and memory is not as watertight as we'd like to think it is.… (mer)
