A highly engaging exploration of existential questions, written in
the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic. The Book of
Commentary / Unquiet Garden of the Soul confronts the reader with
questions of existential meaning, questions rendered all the more
potent by the backdrop of the Coronavirus pandemic: How fragile are
we as human beings? How fragile are our societies? What is a
“self,” an “I,” a “community”? How are we to
orient ourselves? And what, if any, role does commentary play? In a
fashion that will be familiar to longtime admirers of Alexander
Kluge, the book stretches both back in time to the medieval
glossators of Bologna and forward into interstellar space with
imagined travel to the moon Europa. Kluge’s characteristic brief,
vignette-like prose passages are interspersed with images from his
own film work and QR codes, forming a highly engaging, thoroughly
contemporary read.
