Review
The book is like a long lyrical poem, a ballad about death, life, family, religion, nature, the meaning and meaninglessness of life, its beauty and brutality. It will really be understood by those who were or are in a similar situation or who have not had a good relationship with their father, but we mourn his death, we are sorry we can no longer tell him our feelings. And the tragedy for all of us is that we have to imagine what happens to our loved ones after they die. And we know it’s a natural process, yet we can’t reconcile with the horroristic, horrible images that appear before us. And this is when we think about what the meaning of life is, and what was the meaning of the life of the father, the mother, why they loved or hated, if they were already dead, if only their bodies were feasted under the ground by insects.
Thanks to the writer for this beautiful lyrical, yet naturally brutal, but sincere poem, and thanks to Netgalley and World Editions for the opportunity to read this book.
