Zitat von Rhing

Du hast aber schon bewußt das Wort "alleine" eingefügt? Ich glaub, geschadet hat sie als Beigabe auch nur selten.

Paul Auster schrieb mal was über die "redemptive powers of temporary insanity" ...
Muß wohl im "Book of Illusions" gewesen sein ... genaueres kann ich gerade nicht finden ...

Die flüchtige Internet-Recherche spuckt diese Seite dazu aus, die ich nun nicht genauer gelesen habe, darin aber :

Underlying this highly sophisticated debate seems to be the belief that the isolated subject is reduced to nothingness, as in the case of Hector Mann, the forgotten actor in Auster’s novel (50); that without connectedness to the other, one is only half-human, like David – the narrator – in his isolation (56); that it is questionable if such a state can be called a life:“ I was just someone who pretended to be alive[,]” he admits. Auster seems to be further suggesting that what can bring one back to life and make him or her completely human is love based on trust. The courage to take risk, fight one’s fears, and trust the other is the ultimate challenge which Auster compares with crossing the line between life and death, going through “the microscopic holes in the universe” (109) beyond comprehension, where one loses oneself through the “redemptive powers of temporary insanity” (154) – dies in order to accept love and live again: “If I mean to save my life, then I have to come within an inch of destroying it.” (154)

Von "Vernunft" lese ich da nichts ...
