In a rich tapestry of styles, fantasy, and philosophical speculations, Marcel Möring leads us on a voyage through the dark heart of the twentieth century and through a vivid exploration of loss and guilt. Loosely based on Dante's Inferno, this ambitious and enthralling novel--an in-depth study of Europeans' angst and fear after the Holocaust--confirms Möring's place among "the ranks of the most important European writers of his generation" (Die Welt). 1945. Jacob Noah emerges from hiding to discover that his family has perished under the Nazis. Rebuilding his life, Noah becomes a shoemaker in the Dutch town of Assen. Over the years, he patiently expands his business and eventually becomes the city's most influential entrepreneur. Yet success cannot alleviate his loneliness and suffering nor the tragedy of history. Nearly forty years later, this dispirited, loveless man veers off the road in a tragic accident. But instead of entering death's abyss, Noah finds himself on a journey through his soul. Guided by a peddler, he descends into the town's smoky center, a manmade hell reminiscent of Dante's Inferno. But it is not until he encounters a young man named Marcus Kolpa, a respected intellectual struggling with the implications of his Jewish identity and the shared history of his people, that Noah is able to truly understand the meaning of his own life and the tragedies he has experienced.… (mais)

Het levensverhaal van een aan de holocaust ontsnapte man. Boeiend geschreven hoewel het verhaal soms afdwaalt tussen droom en werkelijkheid.

De levensbeschouwelijke en maatschappijkritische opmerkingen zijn soms wel terecht. ( )

Hell and nothing but that. That is the world.

In a Dark Wood: A Novel is an urgent retelling of the Inferno as by Patrick White. Ulysses, The Odyssey and The Flounder are all at play. There are also motorcycles, plenty of them -- and beer. This tale may involve survival but certainly not redemption. I have my doubts about the former as the central character emerges damaged and bereft, a healing transformation isn't in the cards. What was actualized within the novel was the incontinence of memory and a diminution of empathy post-Shoah.

3.5 stars

Marcel Möring’s ‘In Babylon’ (1997) had grote verwachting bij me gewekt over zijn verdere literaire evolutie. Met ‘Dis’ (2006), het eerste deel van een trilogie die voor de kenners duidelijk naar Dante verwijst, heeft hij me zwaar teleurgesteld.
‘Dis’ speelt zich af in Assen, een stadje in het noorden van Nederland. Verschillende verhaallijnen worden met elkaar verbonden, waarbij de leegte na de holocaust en het thema van de wandelende jood centrale elementen zijn. Dat lijkt een veelbelovend concept, maar Möring heeft er een zootje van gemaakt, ik kan het niet anders omschrijven. Vooral stilistisch is het boek een echte mislukking: het lijkt er op dat Möring net iets teveel wou demonstreren hoe belezen hij is, hoeveel literaire verwijzingen hij in één enkel boek kon steken, en hoeveel uiteenlopende stijlen hij kon hanteren. Alleen al in de eerste 150 bladzijden herkende ik Joyce, Döblin, Svevo, en Becket en uiteraard komen ook Dante en Homeros rechtstreeks en onrechtstreeks uitgebreid aan bod. En dan gaat het niet eens om subtiele verwijzingen: Möring lijkt zijn modellen tot in het extreme te willen navolgen, met voortdurende herhalingen, tot vervelens toe. Zelfs de experimenten met de typografie vallen dood op een koude steen.
Overdaad schaadt, en des te meer als het ten koste gaat van de inhoud: Mörings hoofdpersonages, allebei joods, herhalen tot in den treure dat ons aards bestaan een tranendal is, en leiden bijgevolg, ondanks hun peripetieën, een eenzaam en uitzichtloos bestaan. Ik werd ronduit moedeloos van dit boek en heb het gauw aan de kant gelegd. ( )

In a Dark Wood, by Marcel Moring is a compelling book, and one that was difficult to write my thoughts on due to the intensity of the prose, underlying themes, strong metaphors and the overall contents of the novel, part of which is slightly based on Dante’s Inferno, which is the first part of Dante’s poem, The Divine Comedy.

Marcel Moring’s brilliance radiates throughout the pages, and his masterful writing is intense and filled with much to ponder, from metaphors to religious symbolism. I highly recommend In a Dark Wood, by Marcel Moring to those interested in the study of the after-effects, the human emotions and the trauma resulting from the Holocaust and how it can affect those who have survived the atrociousness.

Jakob Noach heeft de oorlog overleefd, ondergedoken in een ondergronds hol bij Assen. Hij werkt zich op tot onroerend goed magnaat, krijgt drie dochters van wie hij veel houdt, maar hij beseft aan het eind van het boek dat hij in feite zijn hele leven schuld heeft gevoeld omdat hij overleefd heeft en zijn ouders en broer niet, en dat hij geprobeerd heeft zijn dochters te beschermen tegen gebeurtenissen als in WO II. Marcus Kolpa is geslaagd dichter voor de wereld, maar voor zichzelf is hij een mislukt kind van een moeder wier leven is blijven stilstaan op het moment dat de Duitsers haar kwamen halen. Marcus is verliefd op Chaja, dochter van Noach, maar durft haar niet te benaderen als zodanig. Terwijl Chaja dat graag zou willen. Ze bevinden zich allen in een hel, de stad Dis uit de hel van Dante.
