Krátky popis
A spellbinding new talent explores the dark side of creativity
through the stories of thirteen tragic architects'What a sensible,
intelligent and beautiful book' Stefan Hertmans, author of War and
TurpentineIn thirteen chapters, Belgian poet Charlotte Van den
Broeck goes in search of buildings that were fatal for their
architects - architects who either killed themselves or are
rumoured to have done so. They range across time and space from a
church with a twisted spire built in seventeenth-century France to
a theatre that collapsed mid-performance in 1920s Washington, DC.,
and an eerily sinking swimming pool in her hometown of Turnhout.
Drawing on a vast range of material, from Hegel and Charles Darwin
to art history, stories from her own life and popular culture,
patterns gradually come into focus, as Van den Broeck asks: what is
that strange life-or-death connection between a creation and its
creator? Threaded through each story, and in prose of great
essayistic subtlety, Van den Broeck meditates on the question of
suicide - what Albert Camus called the 'one truly serious
philosophical problem' - in relation to creativity and public
disgrace.The result is a profoundly idiosyncratic book, breaking
new ground in literary non-fiction, as well as providing solace and
consolation - and a note of caution - to anyone who has ever risked
their hand at a creative act.
