I Am Not an Alcoholic: ‘After the AA meeting a man had the temerity to tell me that I wasn’t being honest’
by László Krasznahorkai, translated from the Hungarian by Ottilie Mulzet , provides it from its long, multi-clause opening sentence to the final words. But there is an ominous note in those final words and frequently a sense of disorientation for the main character, known throughout as the grandson of Prince Genji. He has escaped from his minders and is seeking a Buddhist monastery.
He changes his name and, when necessary, his own story. This results in a comical scene in which David, as he is then called, begins to tell the life story he has been assured, by another refugee, will secure his onward travel, only to have the UNHCR official sarcastically ask, “And when did your mother die?” Instead, he tells a very long story that enchants the official.
