Vielleicht liegt ja ein Teil der Spannung, die Zwischenbereiche auf Hustvedt ausüben, in der Tatsache, dass sie Kind norwegischer Einwanderer und deshalb seit der Kindheit in zwei verschiedenen Welten und Sprachen zu Hause ist: Minnesota und Norwegen sind ihr "Hier und Dort". Davon erzählt der erste Essay und er bringt die Leser auf die Spur des Geheimnisses, das die Prosa dieser Schriftstellerin ausmacht. "Erzählende Prosa zu schreiben ist wie die Erinnerung an etwas, was nie geschehen ist." Orte der Herkunft sind Orte der Zukunft, aber sie wandeln sich im Schreiben und nehmen manchmal sogar Züge des Phantastischen an. Darin liegt der große Zauber von Siri Hustvedts Kunst. Mit ihrem Essayband hat sie ihren Lesern und Leserinnen ein ganz besonderes Geschenk gemacht.
Sparkling essays on a variety of subjects--literature, art, popular culture, autobiography--by a renowned young American novelist. In her brilliant and daring novels "The Blindfold" and "The Enchantment of Lily Dahl, " Siri Hustvedt has won critical acclaim and a rapidly expanding international audience. But she is also a wide-ranging essayist and critic, frequently reexamining in her fascinating nonfiction many of the central leitmotifs of her fiction. The six pieces in Yonder, Hustvedt's first book of essays, are all meditations on the complex relationship between art and the world. They include a personal essay on memory and place, which investigates the images we retain from our lives, the lives of others in the world, and the lives of characters in books. In "Vermeer's Annunciation," Hustvedt gives an entirely original interpretation of the Vermeer painting Woman with a Pearl Necklace. In "Ghosts at the Table," she examines the essence of still life as a genre in painting from Cotan and Chardin to Philip Guston. Other essays include a profound piece about Dickens, a reassessment of The Great Gatsby, and a witty and provocative assault on contemporary pieties entitled "A Plea for Eros."
