Description
The novella 'The Funeral March' is the final volume of Elíasson's loose trilogy ('The Book from the River Sandá', Czech 2013, 'Window to the South', Czech 2020). All three books deal with artists who have withdrawn from society to focus on their work and experience the closeness of nature. The unifying theme of the entire trilogy is artistic endeavor and, in a broader sense, human striving in general. Each of these novellas stands excellently as a standalone work. Like the previous parts of the trilogy, 'The Funeral March' does without a specific plotline and instead delves into the protagonist's personal deadlock. Elíasson's economical, understated style is honed to perfection here. Sadness, humor, and beauty intertwine in a transparent, powerful text.
