Krátky popis
The Undercurrents: A Story of Berlin is a dazzling work of
biography, memoir and cultural criticism told from a precise
vantage point: a stately nineteenth-century house on Berlin's
Landwehr Canal, a site at the centre of great historical changes,
but also smaller domestic ones. When her marriage breaks down,
Kirsty Bell - a British-American writer, in her mid-forties, adrift
- becomes fixated on the history of her building and of her
adoptive city. Taking the view from her apartment window as her
starting point, she turns to the lives of the house's various
inhabitants, to accounts penned by Walter Benjamin, Rosa Luxemburg
and Gabriele Tergit, and to the female protagonists in the works of
Theodor Fontane, Irmgard Keun and Rainer Werner Fassbinder.A new
cultural topography of Berlin emerges, one which taps into
energetic undercurrents to recover untold or forgotten stories
beneath the city's familiar narratives. Humane, thought-provoking
and moving, The Undercurrents is a hybrid literary portrait of a
place that makes the case for radical close readings: of ourselves,
our cities and our histories.
