joaotjesus 's review for:
O Inominável
by Maria Jorge Vilar de Figueiredo, Samuel Beckett
Very poor effort by Mr. Beckett :-P.
The book is essentially a monologue in which the author explores whatever strikes his fancy, be it nothing or everything. There is no plot as such, and the narrative just goes on and on, continuously, without breaks.
I think maybe war has something to do with it. This was written shorlty after the Second World War, and I think that maybe that experience has led the author to think (and consequently, write) in a non-linear, non-formatted, non-standard way and style, posing some big questions in the mean time about all kinds of things, but mostly about the individual.
I realize there may be an audience for this kind of literature, but it is just not for me.
