Ilustration In Favor Of Books Blue Nude

A model sculpts the air with her body. Unlikely subject for novel-length treatment, but in the hands of a poet, the relationship between body and absence, pose and pencil is elegant philosophy. The model, an Israeli raised on a kibbutz who is scarred by her army service, maps her new identity in the empty spaces defined by her stances. "Hers was the art of remaining present even as she disappeared. Inhabiting her body and dreaming her way out of it." The artist, a nachgeboren, from Germany is also haunted by absence: the bombed out ruins of his childhood; and equally, his emotionally hollowed parents, the ruins of the older generation steeped in Nazi ideology that must be crushed and hidden.

The friction of these two characters produces no easy resolutions, no facile art, not even the expected affair. The effects lie in the layers of violence which wrap memory and heritage, and channel perceptions in ways that lie just beneath conscious grasp. Pentimenti of violence, rather than the blunt and brutal headlines of 24 hour newschannels.

Judgment Of Books Blue Nude

this was such a good book



A near-perfect novel. Succinct but so immersive I could effortlessly access the inner world of each character. It explores inter-generational guilt, the legacy of war, identity, art, forgiveness and letting go. I loved it.

I very much enjoyed this story of Danzig, an aging bitter German artist who can no longer "create", and Merav, the talented Israeli nude model who "ran away" from her home country. The story jumps through time and point of view but is wonderfully engaging and quite moving - there is such a striking juxtaposition of beauty and ugliness, history and art. Its a short and easy read that i couldn't put it down.

An amazingly lyric novel about two people whose families were on either side of the Holocaust. One a German artist, whose parents were Nazis, the other an artists' model whose parents were Jewish. They brush up against each other in a subtle, understated way: She poses for him. Each provides a meditation, a mandala, about the war. Without saying what they are thinking and without some classic expectations, the two each help the other resolve some piercing questions about their identity, their

Only on page 52 but already drawn in. Upon completion I will say that it certainly held my attention because I read it in two days with little reading time. The jumping back & forth through time was a bit distracting to me although I see why she did it. I also don't enjoy reading about suicide since my life has been touched by that particular tragedy and I don't need any reminders as I already think about it too often.

Survivors of tragedy must see everything forever after through different eyes, and this book starkly demonstrated this. The two main characters, Danzig and Merav, have both suffered the loss of loved ones through war,Merav directly and Danzig indirectly. Both are emotionally and artistically stunted, neither character generated much warmth of feeling in the reader, and maybe that was intentional on the part of the author. The overriding feeling in the novel was one of stark emotion, and maybe
