you switch on the radio, being interviewed just Christian Brückner. Flees to the television screen, synchronized at least one of the main roles of the current film by Brückner. So it takes the audio book and who read it? Brückner. Rings the bell housing and who's at the door? The postman, who condemned already sounds like Bruckner.
Not even on the Litcologne one is safe from the man. After a presentation by David Lodge eden enchanted from the second chapter of his latest novel, Deaf Sentence that addresses the difference between blindness and deafness, and why this is a tragic and the other funny looks from las unfortunately Brückner. I can not hear that voice! Sometimes I wish I were a hippo and could plunge the ears and tighten.
After all, the rest of the evening was very nice. David Lodge humorous and eloquent presenter so that they even things translated, the Lodge had not said. The translator of the German edition (title: Excuse - coincidentally also the title of that German course on long-playing record, the Lodge passed as he by the British Council at the time of LPs and was invited British Council in Cologne) was allowed to comment briefly on the stage. Unfortunately, they only spoke generally about the difficulties of translating a novel, in which it is teeming with wordplay and interrogations only pretending. Since I'd like to hear details, but probably not enough time for it.
Lodge, whose campus novels have I read sometime in the eighties has been, then completely disappeared from my radar. Thanks to this event, he has resurfaced as a small flash. The order imposing deafness interested me, and his Henry James novel Author Author .
Baba's report.
