Inside And Outside His Head
The Road to the World's End is an amazing book, particularly with regard to style. The content is as simple as it gets--the maturing of a young boy, Anders, as he grows from the age of three to adolescence, on a farm in Norway. However, as in the works of Joyce--this book in feels like a blending of Ulysses and Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, the simple story is set forth with an incredibly dense and beautiful narrative, with shifting perspectives and intense descriptions of the psychological imagery of the mind of a young boy as he experiences and re-experiences events in his life. You see the world through the eyes of Anders, though there is often, as in Ulysses, a sudden shift in narrative to another character, or to an unknown thrid person commentator. What holds the book together so well is the prose, which even in translation into English is poetic, dense, and mysterious. Must be incredible in the original Norwegian! I am now trying to find other novels by Hoel, which are all out of print, seeing if they can match the splendor of this book--it really left me surprised and spellbound--one of the best books I have ever read.
