Tietoa kirjasta - The Illiterate

In 2004, late in her legendary career, Ágota Kristóf wrote this slim dagger of a memoir about being a refugee after fleeing Hungary in 1956

Narrated in a series of stark, brief vignettes, The Illiterate is Ágota Kristóf’s memoir of her childhood, her escape from Hungary in 1956 with her husband and small child, her early years working in factories in Switzerland, and the writing of her first novel, The Notebook. Few writers can convey so much in so little space. Fierce yet almost pointedly flat and documentarian in tone, Kristóf portrays with a disturbing level of detail and directness an implacable message of loss: first, she is forced to learn Russian as a child (with the Soviet takeover of Hungary, Russian became obligatory at school); next, at age twenty-one, she finds herself required to learn French to survive: I have spoken French for more than thirty years, I have written in French for twenty years, but I still don’t know it. I don’t speak it without mistakes, and I can only write it with the help of dictionaries, which I frequently consult. It is for this reason that I also call the French language an enemy language. There is a further reason, the most serious of all: this language is killing my mother tongue.

Ennen Memmoa muistiinpanoni olivat hajallaan PDF-tiedostoissa. Nyt työtila kokoaa kaiken yhteen – näen tarkalleen, mitä on vielä opiskeltavana.

Memmon yhteenvedot ovat kultaa ennen kokeita. Minun ei tarvitse lukea 800 sivua uudelleen kaksi viikkoa ennen – vain tärkeimmät osat.

AI-chat on pelastanut minut useammin kuin kerran tenttiä edeltävänä iltana. Kysyn vain, kunnes ymmärrän – ilman, että tarvitsee odottaa opiskeluryhmän vastausta.
