Produktbeschreibung

An intricate, metaphysical, ambitious psychogeography of the self that both disrupts and elevates the 21st century vision of the novel.



Our narrator is held in complete darkness and isolation. His endless thoughts are turned into the book we are readingSchattenfrohdirected by none other than the narrator's mysterious jailer by the same name. Undulating through explorations of Renaissance art, the German reformation, time-defying esoterica, the printing process in the 16th century, Kabbalistic mysticism, and beyond, Schattenfroh is a remarkable book that, in turn, asks the remarkable of its readers. Interruptions, breaks, and annotations both buoy and deceive, and endless historical references, literary allusions, and wordplay construct a baroque, encyclopedic quest. Schattenfroh's publication in English marks a seminal moment in the history of the literary form.
