| Meer info | Lars Saabye Christensen’s The Half Brother is an international bestseller not only because it illuminates the complex and compelling themes of post World War II Norway, sibling rivalry, family secrets, and the mystery of identity, but also because it is compulsively readable and irresistibly discussable. Norwegian chat-lists have been avidly dissecting this oceanic book’s many mysteries since Halvbroren’s debut in 2001, perhaps because Christensen’s fourgenerational family saga generates more questions than answers. Among the novel’s many themes are the complexity of family life, the sufferingsof those who are physically different, the strength of women, the vulnerability of children, the power of the past, the difficulties and challenges of the creative life, and the ambivalent but enduring bondbetween siblings. Blocked creativity, selfdestructiveness, alcohol addiction, rage, and abandonment, as well as fierce but flawed love plague these tormented characters, whose desire for connection seems thwarted as much by their shared history as by their own actions and impulses. In sum, this tour de force, while wildly inventive and hilariously funny, is simultaneously steeped in a palpable grief born of loneliness, loss and failed connections. |
