Robin Robertson Bücher

Aus den schlimmsten Erfahrungen werden oft die schönsten Anekdoten - wer wüsste das besser als Schriftsteller. Dieser Band versammelt die peinlichsten Auftritte und öffentlichen Malheurs von siebzig Autoren, darunter Margaret Atwood, Michael Ondaatje, Hugo Hamilton, John Banville und Roddy Doyle. Sie erzählen auf höchst vergnügliche Weise von unvergesslichen Lesungen, traumatischen Podiumsdiskussionen, missratenen Empfängen, fatalen Preisverleihungen und vielem mehr. „Voll mit den schmerzlich-komischsten, liebenswertesten Geschichten kompletter Erniedrigung.“ Daily Mail „Eine höchst vergnügliche Lektüre!“ The Sunday Times „Das perfekte Geschenkbuch!“ Literary Review

In dem Titelgedicht „Am Robbenkap“ - John Burnside gewidmet - geht es unheimlich zu wie in einer alten Legende: Von einer Frau mit vier blinden Kindern ist die Rede, halb Menschen, halb Fische, die wie Ratten zwitscherten und eines Tages von ihrem betrunkenen Vater abgestochen wurden. Im Hintergrund dieser tief von der schottischen Landschaft geprägten Gedichte: das Meer und sein „vorwurfsvolles Zerren und Wogen“, eine unheimliche (und von Robertson unheimlich belassene) Natur und die Vergänglichkeit von Dingen und Menschen. Der Dichter Jan Wagner hat für die Verse dieses bedeutenden, in Schottland geborenen Lyrikers wunderbare deutsche Entsprechungen gefunden.

„Dieses Buch verwebt schwindelerregende, jazzige Meditationen über Kriegstraumata, Männlichkeit, Betrug und Erlösung.“ (Ocean Vuong) Der Veteran Walker will nicht mehr zurück in die Provinz. Traumatisiert vom Krieg sucht er in der Metropole nach Freiheit, Anonymität und Schutz. In New York trifft er den Regisseur Robert Siodmak, der ihm von Hollywood vorschwärmt. Also beginnt Walker eine Odyssee durch ganz Amerika, zu dem Ort, an dem gerade Filmgeschichte geschrieben wird: Es ist die Zeit des legendären Film Noir. Hier erfährt Walker, wie gespalten die Gesellschaft des neuen Amerika ist, wie sehr der amerikanische Traum bereits bröckelt. In einer glänzenden, poetischen Sprache erzählt Robin Robertson, der mit diesem Buch auf der Shortlist des Bookerpreises stand, den amerikanischen Mythos in einer völlig ungewöhnlichen Weise neu.

An essential selection from a major voice in contemporary poetry

A selection of poems spanning the career of a poet of the uncanny Filled with haunting and visionary poems, Sailing the Forest is a selection of the finest work from an essential voice in contemporary poetry. Robin Robertson's deceptively spare and mythically charged work is beautifully brutal, ancient and immediate, and capable of instilling menace and awe into our everyday landscape. These are poems drawn in shadow, tinged with salt and blood, that disarm the reader with their precise language and dreamlike illuminations. Robertson's unique world is a place of forked storms where "Rain . . . is silence turned up high" and we can see "the hay marry the fire / and the fire walk." Through five extraordinary collections, Robertson has captured the intangible, illusory world in razor-sharp language. "The genius of this Scots poet is for finding the sensually charged moment—in a raked northern seascape, in a sexual or gustatory encounter—and depicting it in language that is simultaneously spare and ample, and reminiscent of early Heaney or Hughes" (The New Yorker). Sailing the Forest reveals a wild-hearted poet at the height of his talents.
