What’s here now?<p>I don’t read a lot of fiction but an author I had never heard of popped up in my feed today – <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleur_Jaeggy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fleur Jaeggy</a>. Her work sounds incredible. She’s been described as a master of hyper-brevity.</p><blockquote><p>Years later the bigot Agnes Blannbekin, on the 1st of January, again and again turns in her mouth, tender as egg-skin and very sweet, Christ’s foreskin.</p><p>— <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34847126-i-am-the-brother-of-xx" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">I Am the Brother of XX</a></p></blockquote><p>Just ordered this collection of short stories from Abe Books. Can’t wait!</p><blockquote><p>Fleur Jaeggy is often noted for her terse and telegraphic style, which somehow brews up a profound paradox that seems bent on haunting the reader: despite a sort of zero-at-the-bone baseline, her fiction is weirdly also incredibly moving. How does she do it? No one knows. But here, in her newest collection, I Am the Brother of XX, she does it again. Like a magician or a master criminal, who can say how she gets away with it, but whether the stories involve famous writers (Calvino, Ingeborg Bachmann, Joseph Brodsky) or baronesses or 13th-century visionaries or tormented siblings bred up in elite Swiss boarding schools, they somehow steal your heart. And they don’t rest at that, but endlessly disturb your mind.</p><p>— <a href="https://books.google.com/books/about/I_Am_the_Brother_of_XX.html?id=KmInDwAAQBAJ" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Google Books</a></p></blockquote><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://whatisherenow.art.blog/tag/brevity/" target="_blank">#brevity</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://whatisherenow.art.blog/tag/fleur-jaeggy/" target="_blank">#FleurJaeggy</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://whatisherenow.art.blog/tag/italian/" target="_blank">#italian</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://whatisherenow.art.blog/tag/prose/" target="_blank">#prose</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://whatisherenow.art.blog/tag/short-stories/" target="_blank">#shortStories</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://whatisherenow.art.blog/tag/writer/" target="_blank">#writer</a></p>
