Ju rgen Becker's The Sea in the Radio is a collection of "journal
sentences" divided into three sections called notebooks. In this
great concert of a novel, language has been pared down to a
minimum: fragments, phrases, and short sentences combine and make
up a life both banal and profound. It is a life in which many of
the details remain unstated or, as in miniatures, float just beyond
the edges of the frame. Though at first the narrative may seem to
move in a relatively harmless manner, soon enough we begin to
realize that the story to be told may indeed be more unsettling
than we had suspected. The Sea in the Radio is a novel that bears
witness not only to one's final years but also to one's place
within history in general and Germany's cataclysmic
twentieth-century past in particular.
