In diesen Poetikvorlesungen geht der Erzähler Patrick Roth nun seinem Schreiben auf den Grund. Ausgangspunkt ist ihm der Stoff, aus dem die Träume sind, die aus dem Unbewußten zugekommene »materia«, die er durch die Arbeit am literarischen Werk realisiert. Das Unbewußte mit dem Bewußten, das Numinose mit dem Individuellen, das Zeitlose mit dem ganz und gar Zeitlich-Alltäglichen in lebendige Beziehung zu setzen – das ist der Prozeß des Schreibens, dem hier mit poetischer Genauigkeit und Dichte nachgegangen wird.
“A novelist is also a message deliverer, for writing is the art of delivering a message.”—Liu Liangcheng Set in Pisha and Heile, two warring countries in the west without any official communication, this excellent fantastic fable centers on a story between Ku, a messenger and famous translator fluent in several languages and a donkey named Xie, which is said to be a message itself. Ku was asked to deliver the donkey Xie to his hostile country thousands of miles away, thus the two of them embarked on the journey. Together, they crossed battlefields and deserts, witnessing incredible happenings in life and death.Part fantasy and part philosophical puzzle, The Message Deliverer is a kaleidoscopic journey to the intersection of war, love, faith and power. Liu Liangcheng tiptoes the harmony between human and nature in this weird and wild novella, sticking to his writing concept of “everything has a spirit.”
