I have yet to find a proper explanation. It certainly makes us think about the little things that makes up our lives. But whether Jonas is awake or asleep throughout the book remains a mystery to me.<br />Gwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05592615350661016472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470094.post-22880259937474811482008-10-18T23:00:00.000+01:002008-10-18T23:00:00.000+01:00Nice work Stephen.

There are some haunting descriptions of birds getting crushed under bare feet, but beyond that a bit over baked. Always a pleasure catching up on what's in your world.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14803881524388702941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470094.post-15270513967602043072008-09-21T12:12:00.000+01:002008-09-21T12:12:00.000+01:00I read most of Glavinic's Carl Haffner's Love of t...I read most of Glavinic's <I><BR/>Carl Haffner's Love of the Draw</I> but found it very dull. It had received some good press in some chess publications, but mainly because people who write about chess often get it wrong. Glavinic knows his chess and his chess history, and so had avoided the usual pitfalls.<BR/><BR/>The Glavinic you write about sounds like a completely different writer. I'm very interested in reading this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470094.post-83559638200548796802008-09-19T04:03:00.000+01:002008-09-19T04:03:00.000+01:00Great post, Steve.

I encountered Glavinic's name in the survey of recent Austrian literature which was posted a few months back on the Eurozine site, and I was intrigued by what I read there. Now he's definitely going on my list.<BR/><BR/>The Eurozine article, btw, was part of a series of articles about what's going on in some of the less-frequently discussed European literatures, including also those of Ukraine, Northern Ireland, Hungary, Slovenia, the Netherlands, and, yes, Estonia.
