Tegen de achtergrond van de veranderende politieke situatie na de Tweede Wereldoorlog in Tsjechoslowakije speelt zich de groei naar volwassenheid af van een door zijn moeder in geestelijke vrijheid sterk beperkte jongen. Door de druk van zijn moeder is de jongen niet in staat zelf te oordelen, in politiek, liefde noch kunst. Als hij uiteindelijk zelf een beslissing neemt blijkt deze desastreus. Een lijvig verhaal dat doorweven is met dromen en avonturen van een dubbelfiguur en beschouwingen van de schrijver. Het is de vraag of de politieke situatie indringend genoeg beschreven is om de verloren aktualiteit te compenseren. Voor een beperkt aantal lezers. Het boek kreeg de Franse Prix Médicis voor de beste buitenlandse roman. Rereading Life Is Elsewhere, I had the feeling as though I was traveling back to my adolescent years when I read the book for the first time. The protagonist, Jaromil the poet, leads a life observing and reacting towards others’ views on him. In Kundera’s words, he lives in a ‘mirrored world’. Needless to say, he is unhappy, insecure and emotionally disturbed. The tragedy is planted at the start of the novel, when Jaromil’s conception is unwelcome by his father. This is a life that is not meant to exist, a life that is always better in somewhere else. But then, ’somewhere’ is a space of non-existence. The eagerness to prove his existence makes Jaromil draw headless sketches, eavesdropping adults’ comments about him, writes and memorizes poems to impress men and women, and voices offensive opinions. Women play important roles in Jaromil’s life. His relationship with his mother is complicated - it’s dependency rather than love. In fact, he relies on the women - from his mother to the first girls he dated, to the redhead girl,and finally the filmmaker - around him to reassured himself the worthiness of his existence. Kundera is the master of the craft. The self-conscious narrator appears natural. The inclusion of Xarvier, the character in Jaromil’s dream, as his alter-ego to subtly reflect his vulnerability and frustration (that he can never achieve what he wishes but Xarvier would) is a superior plot. This is evident when the redhead girl, the only person who loves him, calls out Xarvier’s name during their intimacy; and later, Jaromil sees Xarvier makes love with the young filmmaker. Life is always elsewhere, when you can’t grasp the meaning of life. "Livet är någon annanstans" är en roman om en pojkes strävan efter att bli poet. Och man. Han växer upp i det kommunistiska Prag, och skyr inga medel för att nå dit han vill. Kundera har skrivit en roman om en poet. Och hur det kan vara att leva under förtryck. Det senare är, tycker jag, bra mycket mer intressant än det förra, men romanen lägger sin tyngd på beskrivningen av den mognande poeten. Det blir riktigt tråkigt långa stycken. Dessutom guidar Kundera oss genom rent surrealistiska partier, och han lyckas inte alltid behålla läsarens intresse. Med mera samhällskritik och mindre poet-snack skulle denna roman skriven 1973 varit mycket mer fängslande. the book that shook my world. Incredible insight on our most secret motivations. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

| Descrição do livro |
|
The author intially intended to call this noel, The Lyrical Age. The lyrical age, according to Kundera, is youth, and this novel, above all, is an epic of adolescence; an ironic epic that tenderly erodes scarosanct values: childhood, motherhood, revolution, and even poetry. Jaromil is in fact a poet. His mother made hima poet and accompanies him (figuratively) to his love bed and (literally) to his deathbed. A ridiculous and touching character, horrifying and totally innocent ("innocence with its bloody smile"!), Jaromil is at the same time a true poet. He's no creep, he's Rimbaud. Rimbaud entrapped by the communist revolution, entrapped in a somber farce.
