Everything Like Before: Stories: Penguin Modern Classics
Autor Kjell Askildsenen Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 apr 2021
Spare, taut and told with flashes of pitch-black humour, the short stories of Norwegian master Kjell Askildsen capture all the strangeness of modern existence. In this selection of tales, spanning the whole of his brilliant career, unnerving encounters occur, lonely individuals try to connect, families and relationships are fractured, and we are confronted by the fragility and absurdity of life.
'Full of compelling strangeness. Lives surge through a few brittle pages, suppressed loves and resentments threaten to erupt'Independent

Notă biografică
Kjell
Askildsen(b.
1929)
is
widely
recognized
as
one
of
the
pre-eminent
Norwegian
writers
of
the
twentieth
century
and
among
the
greatest
short-story
authors
of
all
time.
He
entered
the
literary
scene
in
1953
with
the
collection
of
short
storiesFrom
Now
On
I'll
Take
You
All
the
Way
Home,
which
received
glittering
reviews
in
the
Oslo
press,
but
was
banished
from
the
library
in
his
home
town,
for
immorality.
It
was
not
until
1987,
after
the
publication
ofA
Sudden
Liberating
Thought,
that
he
received
critical
acclaim.
Askildsen has received numerous literary awards, among them are: the Norwegian Critics' Prize (1983 and 1991), the Brage Honorary Prize (1996), the Swedish Academy's Nordic Prize (2009), and in 1991, he was nominated for the Nordic Council's Prize for Literature.

Recenzii
Askildsen's
dry,
absurd
humour
is
not
unlike
that
of
Beckett...
His
short
stories
are
packed
with
irony,
and
the
dialogue
is
sharp
and
expressive
Offers stark portraits of male sexuality and familial dysfunction that are full of compelling strangeness. Lives surge through a few brittle pages, suppressed loves and resentments threaten to erupt. Characters are rarely isolated but their loneliness is palpable as they steal time in the shadows. Names recur throughout the book so the reader tries to connect people with events, but it's the loose ends which draw you back to these taut dramas
Kjell Askildsen has a completely unique ability to write low-key tension between people, razor-sharp and often chamber-like stories that hit you with relentless certainty.
Askildsen, who has translated works by Brecht, similarly shines a spotlight on his characters, and that light is alienating and unforgiving, illuminating selfishness and stagnant relationships.
A master of the short story, Kjell Askildsen's unadorned style is not so much concerned with the manipulation of plotlines as with the manipulation of the reader's feelings and allegiances, with the presentation of characters as people, real people, people so like us that it's creepy, uncanny.
Reading Askildsen is like falling in love with someone you know will hurt you ... hypnotically alluring
One of the great storytellers of the human soul
Stark, minimalist stories, translated from Norwegian, about characters hungry for more than life has delivered
