Deep Vellum Publishingerschienen am03.05.2011
"Talismano" is a novelistic exploration of writing seen as a hallucinatory journey through half-remembered, half-imagined cities--in particular, the city of Tunis, both as it is now, and as it once was. Walking and writing, journey and journal, mirror one another to produce a calligraphic, magical work: a palimpsest of various languages and cultures, highlighting Abdelwahab Meddeb's beguiling mastery of both the Western and Islamic traditions. Meddeb's journey is first and foremost a sensual one, almost decadent, where the narrator luxuriates in the Tunis of his memories and intercuts these impressions with recollections of other cities at other times, reviving the mythical figures of Arab-Islamic legend that have faded from memory in a rapidly westernizing North Africa. A fever dream situated on the knife-edge between competing cultures, "Talismano" is a testament to the power of language to evoke, and subdue, experience.mehr

Inhalt/Kritik

Kritik
Talismano has that rare quality, one found among others in Antonin Artaud s H liogabale, in C line s Journey to the End of the Night, or in Burroughs s The Wild Boys, that is, a darkness both lively and aggressive. --Malek Alloulamehr
