Narrative As Books La Superba
Deze roman is een monument voor een stad zoals er maar één is, Genua, La Superba (de hoogmoedige).En meer nog dan een roman over een schokkend echte en labyrintische stad, is het een liefdesverhaal dat tragisch eindigt.
En meer nog dan een stadsroman en een liefdesroman is La Superba een boek dat de fantasie van een beter leven elders onderzoekt, vertelt en ontrafelt en laat zien hoe mensen - van gerenommeerde schrijvers en verlopen heren van stand tot arme Senegalese sloebers en flanerende hoeren - op verschillende manieren verdwalen in die fantasie.
En meer nog dan over de stad, de liefde en het lot van de zoekende mens gaat deze grandioze meerstemmige roman over het schrijven van een grandioze meerstemmige roman.

3.5 stars

The interesting intermezzo about human trafficking from Africa to Genoa was more of a journalistic essay with tenuous connections to the narrative thread. The author may write sentences that win prizes, but this book did not win a prize from me.
A grotesque voyage into the labyrinth of Genoa It is very difficult to put a label on this novel, because the Dutch author Pfeijffer endlessly varies in different forms, themes and style registers. The main subject is clear: that is the Italian city of Genoa, where the author fled to five years before, leaving the complacent and predictable Netherlands where he was treated too much - in his own words - as an "important writer". Pfeijffer brings the proud and haughty city (La Superba) to life as
Fantastic!
Superb, magnificent novel about the city of Genua. A writer tries to capture the lifes and motivations of different inhabitants in this ancient city. While sitting in bars, on terrasses he meets all kinds of people: an Englishman (alcoholic), an immigrant from Africa. While walking through dark alleys in obscure neighbourhoods leading to big squares, the principal character describes the history of the city, that is laid down in the old streets and bricks of the walls.
