When you long with all your heart for someone to love you, a madness grows there that shakes all sense from the trees and the water and the earth. And nothing lives for you, except the long bitter want. And this is what everyone feels from birth to death.

Quando desideri con tutto il cuore che qualcuno ti ami, dentro ti si radica una follia che toglie ogni senso agli alberi, all'acqua e alla terra.

E per te non esiste più nulla, eccetto quell'insistente, profondo, amaro bisogno. Ed è un sentimento comune a tutti, dalla nascita alla morte.

Bevor jetzt auch noch die Urlaublektüre hinterherhinkt, hier noch schnell die total literarische Leseliste.

Die literarische Vorlage. Wie der Film ist sie recht reißerisch, und spielt statt im irgendwie angenommenen Berlin überraschenderweise über weite Strecken in München (ist für Schmuggeltätigkeiten über den Bodensee auch viel praktischer).

Die literarische Nachbereitung. Will Self imitiert einen bekannten Roman von Oscar Wilde. Es sind die 1980, mit AIDS (sonderbar viele AIDS-Dramen gerade...), hemmungslosem Drogenkonsum und Prinzessin Diana. Der attraktive, aber zügellose und unmoralische Dorian Gray scheint nicht zu altern, stattdessen altert die Videoinstallation, die sein Künstlerfreund Basil von ihm geschaffen hat.....

Der literarische Politikunterricht. Der gute Herr Wieland hält den Regierenden -als verschachtelte und mit diversen Meta-Übersetzung-Ebenen (aus dem scheschianischen) Erzählung aus einem fernen Märchenland mit Sultan, Philosoph und natürlich Haremdsdamen- einen goldnen Spiegel vor. Es hat sich offensichtlich in den 250 Jahren seither wenig am Konzept der wohlmeinenden, aber trotzdem die Zustände nur verschlimmernden Regierung geändert, so daß man es eigentlich immer noch hervorragend verwenden kann.

Die literarische Feierstunde von John Waters. Die Freuden der Jugend, das hatte ich hier schon angekündigt, wollte ich nochmal im O-Ton lesen (da hatte ich lustigerweise auch einen Wieland direkt davor). Vielleicht gibt es ja keinen besseren Roman auf der Welt.

Das literarische und popkulturelle Suchspiel in der bewährt süchtigmachenden Kim-Newman-Manier. In den Katakomben unter der Paris Oper betreibt Erik, bekannt als das Phantom derselben eine kleine Agentur, die sich um Ermittlungen und gelegentliche Auftragsmorde für Fälle, in denen die Polizei lieber nicht eingeschaltet wird kümmert. Ausführendes Organ sind -ähnlich funktionierend wie später bei Charlie- immer drei Engel der Musik, die ersten sind (natürlich) Christine Daaé, Trilby O'Ferrall und die bewährte Irene Adler, dazu kommen immer neue aus den Höchst- und Tiefstunterhaltungen, in denen sich Mr. Newman so schön auskennt, besonders freuten mich natürlich die Imitationskünstlerin Mrs. Eynsford-Hill und Gilberte Lachaille, nur Sibyl Vane, die englische Schauspielerin, die gerade erst drei Bücher zuvor als Strichjunge Herman auftauchte, war kein rechter Erfolg.

Das gefeierte literarische Wunderkind befand, in seinem dritten Roman sei es mal Zeit, sich Gedanken über seine unaufgeregt selbstverständliche Homosexualität zu machen, und sorgte damit natürlich doch für einige Aufregung. Obwohl es im Vergleich mit Myra Breckinridge noch geradezu gediegen wirkt. Und nur so ein mittelgutes Ende nimmt. Thomas Mann immerhin befand, es sei ein edles Werk.

Orvil looked at him intently and thought of the girls in books who ran away with their father’s chauffeur. He could see the attraction. It lay not so much in the chauffeur himself (this one at least was pink and pig-like) but in the speed; the uniform, as of some mysterious unknown army; the shut-in-together, desert-island feeling; and the melting feeling of escape.
