#IA Genberg

[heresay]

When I was younger, I often thought I should travel more and farther, spend more time in foreign countries, that I should be in a constant state of velocity so that I could get out of there and truly live, but with time I have come to understand that everything I was looking for was right here, inside of me, inside the things that surround me, in the money bobs that turned into my actual jobs, in the constancy of the everyday, in the eyes of the people I meet when I allow my gaze to linger... ...it turned out that I already had everything right here, in the details around me, that it's simply a question of being attentive in looking at all of it, of letting myself go and directing my attention outward, and I mean truly outward. That's where this sense of being alive is found, in the alert gaze on another.

Ia Genberg, Detaljerna

The Details by Ia Genberg - review

rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4)

longlisted for the international booker prize 2024

The Details by Ia Genberg is a book about a woman who comes down with a fever and starts reminiscing her life. We see her remembering four people, two ex-lovers, an old friend and her mother.

The novel sets out to explore small moments, or small details about these people the narrator is reminiscing about. It concentrates sometimes in the most frivolous aspects of their relationship.

The writing was really easy to follow, Kira Jofferson, the translator, did an excellent job. They didn’t shy away from words in the original language which is something I love in translated fiction and I can appreciate the hardwork that went into translating the novel.

The writing consists on reminiscing, so we don’t see what the narrator thought in the moment, but what she remembers feeling. It worked for this novel, as we see in retrospect what happened, but the narrator never diminishes her feelings even if they seem frivolous years later. It is something I can appreciate.

This novel deals with love, friendship and grief. It also explores what makes “us”.

"That’s all there is to the self, or the so-called “self”: traces of the people we rub up against."

I really enjoyed the exploration of these themes among different people who had come across the narrator’s path. How each of them presented a different perspective in each side of love.

I was initially going to rate it 3.5 starts, but after the last chapter, which is where we reach the culmination of the book and the author concludes why details are so important to our lives, i decided to give it a 4 star rating. Ia Genberg really shone in the last quarter of the book

Cuando era más joven pensaba que tenía que viajar más, ir más lejos, pasar más tiempo en países extranjeros, estar siempre en disposición de partir a la aventura y vivir al máximo, pero con el tiempo entendí que lo que buscaba estaba aquí mismo, en mi interior, en las cosas que tenía a mi alrededor y en los trabajos alimenticios que se convirtieron en mi profesión, en la constancia del día a día, en la mirada de las personas que encuentro cuando aquietó mi propia mirada.
