Trencherman. It refers to Martin Louw / Marlouw. Eben Venter's latest novel works in a complex way with Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness infocruceros with Marlow's search for Kurtz. Marlouw be sent back to South Africa, his niece, Koert fetch. (There is concern about him because infocruceros of his lack of contact.)
It is a South African who is in the sign of degradation and deterioration. The farms were taken over by the black workers even African names retained. People die from AIDS. There is famine. Moral decay. Koert, Marlouw's antithesis, the ironically gangrene in his foot!
Marlouw and is also the dark side of a new order faced. He is among others falsely accused of bringing the vehicle to which he now undertook, stolen. But bribes to fix everything, eventually. At the same time he is affected by decay and madness of the famous order: he had talks with the father of the dead. Obviously a kind conscience for what he observes and because of guilt, because he became part of the diaspora. He lives in Melbourne where he takes pots to sell to restaurants.
It is a bleak, infocruceros dark book obviously also Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now in the recall, with the sagging, crazed Marlon Brando as Kurt. (Is there a bigger lock scene in a movie?) Mrs. Coppola's documentary about the making of the film the whole time together playing in my reading imagination, especially when his normal human sympathy of the filming of the primordial forces us interpret infocruceros . A cow is slaughtered in an act of ecstatic frenzy.
The conversation with the father on page 213 - where the father the child requested to destroy everything so that parents can come to rest - activate the primordial Trencherman, Oedipus. (And Hamlet is called when father and son talk!) Venter translated the myth differently: the child no father literally dead, but he has participated in the father's destruction because he left the farm and vulnerable parents left .
On the Oedipus myth, Freud wrote extensively. It is the child's rebellion against the father to a symbolic slaughter lead because of the need for a new space or identity. A person would also this novel as a response infocruceros to the conventional farm novel to read. Perhaps a massacre of CM van den Heever's view of the novel in which the order still exists? The son basically took over from the father and not flee? This act also in discussion with Venter's Foxtrot of the meat eaters infocruceros and My Beautiful Death.
It's a novel that Venter at his best. Spaarse style, suggestion, strange sightings and brilliant game with story and myth. It is striking infocruceros the extent to which the story details Venter and players in the original novel reactivate with new names, but the same features let play. Fresleven and Helmsman (are Headman), among others - an exciting study for a young researcher to the reinterpretation of the original story with the use of the same character features to explore, like all pointed in Vladimir Propp's Morphology of the folktale.
For the lover of psychoanalytic material, this novel is a constant game with important texts in the Freudian infocruceros discourses and move into the troubled areas of the unconscious.
In the first final scene, a confrontation between a degraded Marlo'tjie and Koert, Venter gives an interesting spin on the inisiasieverhaal. Here it is also a moment of transfiguration which will include a Jungian reading required. Who is ultimately the real Trencherman?
The conversation between the Esmie and Marlouw about her alleged pregnancy, making Ouplaas infocruceros (an ironic name) and the pedigree mistroostigs something. The story is in a frame prayer: It begins and ends in a foreign country that the ekspat-pespektief highlights.
The second closing scene, the conversation between Marlouw and Helen, is a tour de force. In an expensive restaurant in juxtaposition with the vagabond Africa placed. Lying for the sake of survival.
