Sinopse
Sometimes running away is the bravest option. Or, so believes Rosa, who ditches her husband and home and takes off on the road. Along the way, she encounters the owner of a puppet theater who’s on a mission to conquer the world with his performance of The Snow Queen.
Which character from this old fairy tale will Rosa identify with? With Gerda, searching fruitlessly for her lost love? With Kai, who flees home and his beloved one day without a word? Or with the Snow Queen, who seems to stand aloof above it all?
With magnetic, sparkling prose, Beňová delivers a lively mosaic that ruminates on human relationships, our greatest fears and desires.
Minha review no GoodReads
Away! Away! não segue uma narrativa linear, é mais uma compilação de fragmentos de texto com monólogos interiores, que mistura realismo com absurdo. A personagem principal vive muita angústia e alienação, embora haja momentos de humor em algumas partes. Foi uma leitura bastante confusa e não me conquistou de todo.
Rosa. I’m trapped. I want to lie in bed next to Son, but instead, I’m sitting at work, a cramp personified. A trapped, bare, blood-soaked winter bone.
She was forever clutching a small animal under her arm. She always dressed him differently, so sometimes it was a dog, other times a wolf, a raven, a mouse, a reindeer, a dolphin or a pangasius.
All that’s left is how to choose the most aesthetic suicide: marriage + 9 to 5 office job, or a revolver. Camus develops this further.
