Vita Sackville-West<\/strong>s roman All Passion Spent<\/em><\/strong> fick jag p\u00e5 ett lite udda s\u00e4tt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jag var i London p\u00e5 ett lite f\u00f6r kort bes\u00f6k och satt hemma hos min v\u00e4ninna Chris och hennes man Jeff och ville inte g\u00e5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

”Vad \u00e4r det mer du m\u00e5ste hinna innan du \u00e5ker?” sa Chris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

”N\u00e5gon bokhandel”, sa jag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

F\u00f6r bokhandel \u00e4r ett obligatoriskt inslag i alla resor, eller hur?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

”Jag har en l\u00e5da med b\u00f6cker d\u00e4ruppe”, sa Chris. ”Du f\u00e5r tre f\u00f6r tv\u00e5!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fr\u00e5n den l\u00e5dan kommer en rad stora l\u00e4supplevelser, f\u00f6r Chris boksmak visade sig passa mig n\u00e4stan osannolikt bra. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

En av de b\u00f6cker som jag gav mig p\u00e5 f\u00f6rst var Diane Schoemperlens Our Lady of the Lost and Found<\/a><\/em>, som jag sedan gav bort och blev tvungen att best\u00e4lla f\u00f6r att f\u00e5 den igen, och som jag har best\u00e4llt till flera v\u00e4nner i hopp om att f\u00e5 n\u00e5gon att prata om den med.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En av dem som har f\u00e5tt v\u00e4nta l\u00e4nge i bokhyllan — det \u00e4r nog femton \u00e5r sedan den resan nu — \u00e4r allts\u00e5 Vita Sackville-West<\/strong>s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jag visste inte s\u00e4rskilt mycket om henne eller om romanen n\u00e4r jag b\u00f6rjade l\u00e4sa, men den presenteras ibland som en sk\u00f6nlitter\u00e4r sl\u00e4kting eller till och med parallell till Virginia Woolf<\/strong>s Ett eget rum<\/em><\/strong> (A Room of One’s Own<\/em>). Den \u00e4r en av Vita Sackville-Wests 13 romaner, och hon skrev ocks\u00e5 mycket lyrik, arbetade som journalist och var k\u00e4nd som tr\u00e4dg\u00e5rdsarkitekt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I All Passion Spent<\/em> presenterar hon sex vuxna syskon och en riktigt gammal kvinna som \u00e4r deras mor men som ingen av dem riktigt k\u00e4nner. N\u00e4r pappan, en k\u00e4nd brittisk statsman som inte lyckades samla ihop n\u00e5gon f\u00f6rm\u00f6genhet, d\u00f6r, tror alla att hon ska g\u00f6ra som omv\u00e4rlden och s\u00e4rskilt barnen har r\u00e4tt att v\u00e4nta sig att en \u00e4nka g\u00f6r. Ist\u00e4llet ser hon sin chans att f\u00f6r f\u00f6rsta g\u00e5ngen skapa n\u00e5got helt eget och strunta i att ta h\u00e4nsyn till alla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perspektiven v\u00e4xlar ber\u00e4ttelsen igenom, och jag undrade ibland om det inte skulle ha blivit mer engagerande och effektfullt om enbart huvudpersonen hade f\u00e5tt dela med sig av sina tankar. Men s\u00e5 mycket av hennes situation beror p\u00e5 att hennes barn inte f\u00f6rst\u00e5r henne, och p\u00e5 s\u00e4tt och vis blir den nog mer trov\u00e4rdig av att man f\u00e5r reda p\u00e5 att det verkligen \u00e4r s\u00e5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Min favoritsekvens \u00e4r den d\u00e4r hon reser med lokaltrafiken i London och d\u00e4r en l\u00e5ng inre monolog bryts om och om igen av h\u00f6gtalarutropen om stationerna. Ett s\u00e5 enkelt grepp, och s\u00e5 snyggt!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Och naturligtvis \u00e4r den stora po\u00e4ngen med romanen den att vem som helst som vi tror att vi k\u00e4nner, eller som vi bara \u00e4r lojt ointresserade av, kan vara en helt annan person \u00e4n den vi f\u00f6rest\u00e4ller oss. Dessutom f\u00f6rest\u00e4ller vi oss antagligen ofta olika. N\u00e5got att komma ih\u00e5g.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
