Inhaltsangabe
Was ist, wenn eine Hälfte eines Zwillingspaares nicht mehr leben will? Was ist, wenn der andere nicht ohne sie leben kann?
Diese Frage liegt im Mittelpunkt von Jente Posthumas täuschend einfachem What I'd Rather Not Think About . Der Erzähler ist ein Zwilling, dessen Bruder sich kürzlich das Leben genommen hat. Sie blickt auf ihre Kindheit zurück und erzählt von ihrem Erwachsenenleben: wie ihr Bruder versuchte, Glück zu finden, sich aber in verschiedenen Männern und der Bhagwan-Bewegung verlor, wenn auch nie vollständig.
Kurz gesagt, präzise Vignetten, voller sanfter Melancholie und überraschendem Humor, erzählt Posthuma die Geschichte eines depressiven Bruders, der aus der Perspektive der Schwester betrachtet wird, die ihren Zwilling sowohl liebt als auch übel macht, kämpft ihn zu verstehen und ihn schrecklich vermisst.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. LONGLISTED FOR THE 2024 INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZEWhat if one half of a pair of twins no longer wants to live? What if the other can't live without them?These questions lie at the heart of Jente Posthuma's deceptively simple What I'd Rather Not Think About. The narrator is a twin whose brother has recently taken his own life. She looks back on their childhood, and tells of their adult lives, and of how her brother tried to find happiness, but lost himself in various men and the Bhagwan movement, though never completely.In brief, precise vignettes, full of surprising humour and gentle melancholy, Posthuma tells the story of a depressive brother, viewed from the perspective of the sister who both loves and resents her twin, struggles to understand him, and misses him terribly.'A unique story of a twin brother and sister, wryly funny and heartbreakingly sad. Her characters desperately try to make sense of our ever more complex world. This is a rare book. And Jente Posthuma is a treasure and a hell of a writer.'-Herman Koch, international bestselling author of The Dinner'From the opening pages of this novel I had no idea where it was going, but I trusted Posthuma completely. Tender, offbeat, and deftly drawn - I loved it.'-Allee Richards, author of The Small Joys of Real Life' An exquisitely vulnerable novel.'-Cameron Woodhead, The Sydney Morning Herald Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
