SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 2021 'Mesmerizing, political, intimate, unafraid - this is a superb novel... that pays such close, intelligent attention to the world we all live in' Sunjeev Sahota, author of the Booker shortlisted The Year of the Runaways It begins with a message: a telephone call informing Krishan that his grandmother's former caregiver has died. As Krishan makes the long journey by train from the Sri Lankan capital into the war-torn Northern Province for the funeral, so he travels into the soul of a country devastated by civil war. A Passage North is a poignant memorial to the dead and an exploration of the unattainable distances between who we are and what we seek. 'Its world is the deeply-layered, rich interior of its protagonist's mind but also contemporary Sri Lanka itself, war-scarred, traumatized ...

Recensione

‘Mesmerizing, political, intimate, unafraid – this is a superb novel, a novel that pays such close, intelligent attention to the world we all live in’
Sunjeev Sahota, author of the Booker shortlisted The Year of the Runaways

‘A profound and disquieting account of the making of a self, of the pressures of history, desire, will, and chance that determine the shape of a life. It's difficult to think of comparisons for Arudpragasam's work among current English-language writers; one senses, reading his two extraordinary novels, a new mastery coming into being’
Garth Greenwell, author of Cleanness and What Belongs to You

‘A Passage North is written with scrupulous attention to nuance and detail. Its world is the deeply-layered, rich interior of its protagonist's mind but also contemporary Sri Lanka itself, war-scarred, traumatized. At its center is an exquisite form of noticing, a way of rendering consciousness and handling time that connects Arudpragasam to the great novelists of the past’
Colm Tóibín, New York Times bestselling author of Brooklyn and The Testament of Mary

‘Anuk Arudpragasam's first book already showed what a fine novelist he was and this second novel provides proof, if any were needed, that he is a major writer, vastly accomplished. Life is short but remembering is long. In the aftermath of war, Anuk Arudpragasam's rich, rewarding sentences return the reader to all that is living’
Amitava Kumar, author of Immigrant, Montana

‘Anuk Arudpragasam is an artist of revelations. In A Passage North, he continues to map, with beauty, grace, and fire, the responsibilities we carry in a world that is forever on the brink. This is a novel as both an elegy and a love song, not only for a place, but for the souls, living and dead, who are bound to that place―what an unforgettable and perfect reading experience, and one that unearths truths, relentlessly, magically’ --Paul Yoon, author of Snow Hunters and Run Me to Earth

Dalla quarta di copertina

It begins with a message: a telephone call informing Krishan that his grandmother's former care-giver, Rani, has died in unexpected circumstances, at the bottom of a well in her village in the north, her neck broken by the fall. The news arrives on the heels of an email from Anjum, an activist he fell in love with four years earlier while living in Delhi, bringing with it the stirring of distant memories and desires. As Krishan makes the long journey by train from Colombo into the war-torn Northern Province for the funeral, so begins a passage into the soul of an island devastated by violence.

Written with precision and grace, A Passage North is a poignant memorial for the missing and the dead, and a luminous meditation on time, consciousness, and the lasting imprint of the connections we make with others.

2,0 su 5 stelle So boring....
Recensito in Italia il 2 dicembre 2022

It is an extremely monotonous read, endless descriptions of any single thing, object or person, without any dialogue. I was curious to discover the Tamil literature and world but I found it difficult to read it to the end. I finished it only because I always make a point of finishing a book. Not worth the commitment...

5,0 su 5 stelle Beautifully and compassionately written
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 20 settembre 2021

I just finished reading Anuk Aradpragasam’s novel, A Passage North, which was long-listed for the Booker Prize. It is a deeply moving meditation on desire, love, violence, loss and death. Set in Sri Lanka but with flashbacks to the protagonist’s time in India, the novel takes place in the aftermath of the thirty-year civil war between the Tamil separatists and the Sinhalese government. It examines sexual identity, gender, race and caste as well as religion and colonialism.

Among the qualities that I loved was the fact that there is not a single line of dialogue. The novel is all exposition and interior monologue and weaves in stories and legends of the Buddha and Tamil fighters against a backdrop of personal loss.

The only action in the fictional present is that the protagonist receives an email from his former lover and a phone call that his grandmother’s former caretaker has died. He goes for an evening walk then takes a train north from Colombo to attend the funeral of the caretaker. In this unusual structure, it reminds me of Jeannette Winterson’s Art and Lies.

The absence of dialogue also brought Jamaica Kincaid to mind.

It’s beautifully and compassionately written.

I very much recommend it.

5,0 su 5 stelle A story of loss, trauma and everlasting search for self
Recensito in India il 26 ottobre 2022
Acquisto verificato
❝He couldn't help thinking, as the train hurtled closer toward his destination, that he'd traversed not any physical distance that day but rather some vast psychic distance inside him, that he'd been advancing not from the island's south to its north but from the south of his mind to its own distant northern reaches.❞

A Passage North is as much about Krishan's introspection as it is about the passage itself. Anuk Arudpragasam with his tantalizing words and the lure of a spectacular story, takes a reader to the heart of a country's vast, impactful and bloody past.

Sri Lanka's civil war and the subsequent genocide of Tamil population was not something I had any prior knowledge of, before reading the book. That's why, coming across the tragedies of the war or the unexpected viciousness that shattered the melancholic atmosphere of the book repeatedly, was a shock to my system. Even though I knew what I was getting myself into when I picked the book.

A Passage North gives an almost unparalleled attention to detail. Think about it like this, you are slowly making your way through the cumbersome lines and long, philosophical wanderings of the book. Suddenly a window opens up somewhere and you are privy to every thought and every emotion undulating inside the depth of someone's very being! It's incredible, really.

This book follows Krishan's journey into the deep north of Sri Lanka as he makes his way towards Rani's funeral pyre and simultaneously tries to come in terms with the aftermath of war. Grief, alienation, absence and longing - these are the recurring themes of the book. It deeply explores and examines the effects of a tragic history in a country's consciousness.

It took me almost 3 months and multiple breaks to finish A Passage North. The reason behind this has more to do with the theme of the book rather than a succession of unfortunate timings. It's not an easy book to read, war memoirs never are. Layers of recollections and swathes of ruminations concluded in a way that left me empty and wrung out but finally at reluctant peace.

A story of loss, trauma and an everlasting search for self, A Passage North comes highly recommended from me.

4,0 su 5 stelle Maravilloso en su mayoría
Recensito in Spagna il 25 febbraio 2022
Acquisto verificato
Su descripción de la pérdida de conciencia que se da a lo largo de la vida al madurar. Su descripción de como morimos poco a poco o, finalmente, de la sensación de paz y serenidad que da viajar en tren (esta última me fascinó, tanto tiempo sintiendo lo mismo y sin saber por qué), me parecen de las cosas más maravillosas que nunca haya leído. Simplemente genial.
El problema un poco es que esa introspección casi obsesiva cuando llega la parte en que habla de su pareja o de la pira funeraria de Rani me resultó cargante, se me hizo largo, bonito quizá pero pesado tb, de ahí que no ponga 5 estrellas.
Maravilloso tb que siendo de un nacionalista Tamil no hable con rencor hacia su país, admirable, qué diferencia con mi país y tantos otros siempre mirando atrás y rascando en la herida para que esta nunca cure.
Aconsejo su lectura como libro magnífico, teniendo en cuenta lo que he dicho.
