The redemptive force of language
By Mirjam
This is a book about the vulnerability and resilience of men and the redemptive force of language. Main characters in the book are an old man and a young girl who are both in their own way lonely. The old man lost most of his family during World War Two. To cope with the loss and the invisibility, he creates a world in which he makes himself and the people he lost visible. He writes.‘I wanted to describe the world, because to live in an undescribed world was too lonely.’The young girl is lost in the way that her family is lost after the death of her father. Her mother, brother and she herself lost their anchor that their family was. They all seek comfort in other things: the mother in her memories, the brother finds religion and the girl loses and finds herself through a book.I liked this book a lot. It makes you think about language, what it is and what it can do. It can destroy and create, it can silence and free you. The language is mostly beautiful. I found the chapters of ‘The History of Love’ the most engaging. The stories of Kafka and Babel were memorable. I will not forget them. This book is about writing and seeing.'It was obvious, X thought. All you had to do was look at how each had approached the same subject. Where he saw a page of words, his friend saw the field of hesitations, black holes, and possibilities between the words. Where his friend saw dappled light, the felicity of flight, the sadness of gravity, he saw the solid form of a common sparrow. X's life was defined by a delight in the weight of the real; his friend's by a rejection of reality, with its army of flat-footed facts.I found the book sometimes sentimental especially in the beginning of the book. Then it describes too much (how Leo makes himself seen). Less is more.

When love flies off the pages of a book...
By ELI (Italy)
That's the case with the "History of Love". Its author thought that the book he wrote decades earlier was irretrievably lost. Instead, it had survived and traveled extensively, touching and changing the life of those who read it.I especially liked the character of old Leo Gursky, drawn vividly to say the least, a touching, funny and simultaneously heartbreaking personality, who never forgot his first and only love. She had fled their native Poland during the Holocaust to go to New York and, by the time he is able to reach her, and learns that he has a son, it's too late.On the other side of town (we're in contemporary New York), a young girl named Alma is currently reading the translation her mother is doing of the "History of Love" -a book she knew had influenced her parents' lives- hoping that by finding out the identity of the man who had requested the translation would help her mother to find love again after her husband's untimely death. She cannot yet know that the plan she has in mind will unravel an unexpected path.Emotional twists & turns unfold for both of these main characters, old Leo and young Alma. Without knowing each other personally and unbeknownst to them, their lives and those of their loved ones are tied by the same rope.A tender and often wrenching story about Love in all of its forms. The only reason I gave it 3 stars instead of 4 (in the absence of that "half mark" which I find could be useful), is that, at times, I had to concentrate not to mix up the various characters described, despite their obvious pertinence to the story, especially when reaching the middle of the book. A bit confusing.On the other hand, I did appreciate the thin but strong line between past and present, with an original juxtaposition and an elegant prose. It all comes together in the end and the message is incredibly moving.

Writing, good. Book, pretentious.
By WeAreWhatWeRead
I imagine Nicole Krauss is what they call 'a writer's writer'. Critics, and people who read for a living or as an academic pursuit will love her writing, but her book here will probably not be liked by simple folk like me, people who read for pleasure. I expect to be rewarded and entertained by a novel which has a beginning, a middle, an end, and -- is it too much to ask? -- discernible characters.This book isn't a novel. It starts beautifully, with a very moving description of two elderly friends and with tragic tales of lost lives and love. But the rambling non-end, perhaps intended to be pure emotion or some kind of a meditation, ruins everything. It's too contrived and, frankly, pretentious. Page after page of mostly empty spaces, with a short paragraph in the middle. I get it was meant as a metaphor for something, as was the fact that the characters become interchangeable so we have no idea who speaks to whom, who lives, who has died (or if anyone, dead or alive, has actually ever existed at all). We're probably supposed to make up our own ending or understand that it doesn't really matter ... but, my goodness, was it annoying.I would have given 'The History of Love' 1 star, but it does deserve more. Krauss is, no doubt, a deep and wonderfully talented writer. Her prose is polished, eloquent, able to express and elicit intense emotions with an apparent ease which probably takes very hard work. I wish she had written a proper novel. For me, this was too experimental, overwrought, and way too similar in everything - style, structure, themes, subject - to her ex-husband's Everything is Illuminated (which I happened to love).
