My Unhappiness Begins with Electrical Circuits Being Depicted not as Circles, but as Rectangles – speeches by Saša Stanišić
with Saša Stanišić
Reading without discussion
It’s no good. We have to do something about people’s suffering and pain. War, poverty, fascism, all that stuff. Everyone can do something. Everyone. Give something, help somewhere, something like that. Take responsibility. If everything’s going down the drain, then at least with some dignity, damn it! Who better to lift us up in these turbulent times than master storyteller and German Book Prize winner Saša Stanišić (“Where You Come From”). Following acclaimed novels, children’s tales, short stories and YA books, he has published a collection of speeches. In My Unhappiness Begins with Electrical Circuits Being Depicted Not as Circles, but as Rectangles, he hits back against idleness. What can we expect? A wild hodgepodge of literary fragments, Thomas Bernhard (alive), a wood pigeon (dead), language, courage and empathy.
