Description

Family, obsession, and privilege boiled down by the icyhot SwissItalian master stylist Fleur Jaeggy. Even among Jaeggys singular and intricate works, The Water Statues is a shiningly peculiar book. Concerned with loneliness and wealths odd emotional poverty, this early novel is in part structured as a play the dramatis personae include the various relatives, friends, and servants of a man named Beeklam, a wealthy recluse who keeps statues in his villas flooded basement, where memories shiver in uncertain light and the waters run off to the sea.Fleshed out with Jaeggys austere yet voluptuous style, The Water Statues delivers like a slap an indelible picture of the swampiness of family life. Reading Jaeggy is not unlike diving naked and headlong into a bramble of black rose bushes, so intrigued you are by their beauty its a swift, prickly undertaking, and you emerge the other end bloodied all over Daniel Johnson, The Paris Review
