I'm glad to see you review this. Haushofer was born very close to where I'm from and I loved reading it a few years ago. Thanks for the great video, Chris!
They made a movie of this book and it's very powerful. I still think about it occasionally. Since the wall was never explained it gave the impression that it was an act of God like some kind of Old testament punishment for the failings of mankind. Each person isolated on only a patch of ground. Horrifying.
Hey Chris, I think it would be valuable for your channel to include an Amazon affiliate link in your videos. You get a bit of kickback, at least I think that's what happens, plus it helps promote the book that you love. Just a thought. Great video!
First time I hear of Marlen Haushofer. I think I'll get myself a copy of The Wall, as it's making me think of a beloved Belgian movie called 'Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai De Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles' by Chantal Akerman, with some Austrian vibes into the bargain à la Michael Haneke and/or Thomas Bernhard. But that might be due to my too-human instinct of anchoring new discoveries in familiar territory. Thank you as always👍 And very nice shot, by the by- new camera?
I watched that movie for the first time over Christmas break! It was excruciating in the best-worst ways! I hadn't thought of that connection to this book, but I definitely see it. Actually, the more I think about it, the more I _do_ see similarities! Not a new camera, but I took some time to fiddle with the settings to get a better shot, so, thank you so much for noticing!
Haircut still looking great, my man. Suits you very well. Read Clark by Brendan Connell and also the stories of Justin Isis if you get a chance. They're affiliated writers of the Neo-Decadent movement who are well worth checking out.
@@LeafbyLeaf Pleasant Tales by Justin Isis is short, punchy and easily available on kindle. The literary equivalent of a shot of lemon sherbet sorbet to the dome: great as a palette cleanser.
Wonderful analysis! Please allow me to share an insight. If you were to lock your wife and your dog in your closet for an hour, upon opening the door after that hour, who would be happy to see you ? Your wife or your dog?😊
