Berlin-Hamlet (NYRB Poets) Book Information:

or the 2017 National Translation Award in Poetry and the 2017 Best Translated Book Award in PoetryBefore his tragic death, Szilrd Borbly had gained a name as one of Europe's most searching new poets. Berlin-Hamletone of his major worksevokes a stroll through the phantasmagoric shopping arcades described in Walter Benjamins Arcades Project, but instead of the delirious image fragments of nineteenth-century European culture, we pass by disembodied scraps of written text, remnants as ghostly as their authors: primarily Franz Kafka but also Benjamin himself or the Hungarian poets Attila Jzsef or Erno Szp. Paraphrases and reworked quotations, drawing upon the vanished prewar legacy, particularly its German Jewish aspects, appear in sharp juxtaposition with images of post-1989 Berlin frantically rebuilding itself in the wake of German reunification.
