A General Theory of Oblivion
A General Theory of Oblivion | Jos Eduardo Agualusa
62 posts | 36 read | 47 to read
SHORTLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER INTERNATIONAL 2016 The brilliant new novel from the winner of the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize. On the eve of Angolan independence, Ludo bricks herself into her apartment, where she will remain for the next thirty years. She lives off vegetables and pigeons, burns her furniture and books to stay alive and keeps herself busy by writing her story on the walls of her home. The outside world slowly seeps into Ludos life through snippets on the radio, voices from next door, glimpses of a man fleeing his pursuers and a note attached to a birds foot. Until one day she meets Sabalu, a young boy from the street who climbs up to her terrace.

Late entry for #ReadingAfrica2022 #Angola 🇦🇴 @barbarabb @Librarybelle
4⭐I enjoyed how Agualusa introduced small incidents which became significant later on, providing multiple perspectives of the same episode to build a fuller understanding of the intersection of different lives. However, I often forgot which perspective belonged to which character, though that's more due to my own concentration issues rather than any problem with the writing.

Librarybelle Sounds interesting! 13mo
BarbaraBB I read this one too. Good choice for the prompt. 13mo

"General Theory" is a book I ordered months ago for #Angola ?? in #ReadingAfrica2022, so it's a bit late for that, but still sounds interesting so I will read it.
I ordered volume 3 of the Dune: House Atreides graphic novel as the first two were engaging enough for me to want to complete the series.
Divided States of Hysteria is a random pick, which could be excellent or terrible - I'll have to see ?

BarbaraBB thank you😀, was I right? I still don‘t have a clue though. I read it one night in the hospital where my father was dying. I think I wasn‘t that focused 🤦🏻‍♀️ 14mo
Bookwomble @BarbaraBB Sorry to hear of your loss, Barbara ❤️ That would surely be enough of a distraction. My dad died last year, too, and my use of books as a coping mechanism meant I read more in '22 than ever before. 14mo

Ludo is an agoraphobic Portuguese woman who lives with her sister in Luanda, #Angola.

When Ludo‘s sister and brother-in-law suddenly disappear, the anxious woman builds a wall across the hallway outside her apartment door, effectively barricading herself off from the outside world where Independence is about to be declared. Over the course of 30 years she collects her thoughts on the walls when she runs out of paper.

Locking herself away for 30 years, Ludo evades an incredibly tumultuous period in Angola‘s recent history. The writing is very compelling and cinematic, I found it really hard to put down. Some elements of the story frustrated me but I enjoyed the journey across Angola and was left wanting to learn more. 7/10

A woman, Ludo, survives 28 years alone in a penthouse apartment during the Angolan civil war. The narrative goes back and forth between her story and a few other people, mainly revolutionaries. These short vignettes seem all over the place but by the end it all makes sense.
This is the 2nd book I read from the #NewYearWhoDis list from @Bookishthoughts
I liked it and have already passed it on to a coworker.

LazyDays Man girl you are on fire! This is one of my favorite books,will always be on my top 5 of recommendations. I am halfway through Strange the Dream. I thought that book I kept tagging you in was on your list 🤦😆 4y
LazyDays Glad you enjoyed it 4y
VioletBramble @Bookishthoughts I have read 7 books this month. That‘s more than I usually manage. Unfortunately I was able to do it because of plumbing issues since the 11th. I‘ve been reading and studying in the library while plumbers rip apart my bathroom. I thought it was over but last night my upstairs neighbor‘s toilet started leaking. Maintenance just left after ripping down my wet ceiling. Ugh! Thank God I rent. 4y

I‘m hoping to finish this book later today. There are major plumbing repairs happening in my apartment- and the two below mine. I‘m hanging out in the library. I did a couple of Pediatric Continuing Education modules this morning. Planning to pleasure read this afternoon. After that I guess my plan is to clean my bathroom. And check the apartment for any critters that might have come in via the open bathroom wall. So gross.

Today‘s book mail. Two witch related books I pre-ordered a while ago were finally published. The tagged book is one of the #NewYearWhoDis books on my list from @Bookishthoughts . The story sounds really interesting. I am a little worried because it was short listed for the Man Booker prize. I have a bad history with the Booker winners I‘ve read. Whatever the Booker committee looks for in a book is not what i look for in a book.

LazyDays I hope you enjoy it! The translation was smooth. The story was a little over the place but was fascinating. It's one of my top book recommendations. 4y
VioletBramble @Bookishthoughts the edition I have is from Archipelago Books. I have loved everything I‘ve read from them. This gives me hope despite it being Booker listed. 4y
monalyisha One of my favorite things about this book was the size & shape of it, & how it felt in my hands. A+ book design! 4y

Pick. A setting I know nothing about: Angola, 1973-2003, during the Angolan fight for independence against the Portuguese and subsequent civil war.
A woman bricks herself in her apartment for years to be safe. She writes her thoughts on the walls.
Based on a true story. Powerful, but at times hard to follow. I was educated reading this.

I just finished this one for #PassportLitsy #Angola, and also for the letter A for #LitsyAtoZ. It was an oddly structured but interesting set of stories about an eclectic mix of people and how their lives intersect during and after the fight for Angolan independence. The stories all sort of revolve around Ludo, an agoraphobic woman who walls herself up in her apartment! @maximoffs @BookishMarginalia

En underbar liten bok! Jag älskade den. Om Ludo som samtidigt som Angola utropar sig självständighet, murar in sig i sin lägenhet där hon stannar i 28 år. Tätt med spännande människor och intressanta händelsen. Istället för att fatta tycke om någon av karaktärerna, blir man förälskad i berättaren.

Detta kommer bli en kompakt bok. På två sidor text har hjältinna hunnit födas, bli retad i skolan, förlora sina föräldrar, flytta två ggr på två kontinenter och få en valp?

tricours Jag tycker den skulle passat bättre som en roman på ca 800 sidor... Allt bara flög förbi. 6y
Jejalena @tricours det är tidigt för min slutliga dom. Men i år läste jag ett par riktiga pärlor på under 250 sidor. Jag har stor respekt för författare som kan skriva kortfattat. Det kräver en annan sort litterär ”hantverk”. Jag tror jag stör mig mer på böcker på över 500 som inte kan bära alla sina sidor. Återkommer med review;). 6y

A novel in translation (Portuguese to English) about an agoraphobic woman who watches the political upheaval in Angola through her apartment window.

It was difficult to stay immersed in the narrative but there were some ideas & quotes I liked quite a bit. More than any of that, though, I liked the format of the book itself. It's a squat lil baby, 5.5 x .8 x 6.5", with a rough, matte cover. If ever I write a book, I want it to look just like this.

I just think this is the weirdest thing. ?‍♀️I know there are library patrons (especially elderly library users) who will mark a book to remind themselves that they've read it, either with a small dot or with their initials. It's a practice I DESPISE (don't permanently alter property that doesn't belong to you!). But... a "private code?" Like this kind of code: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ? Or my name in Wingdings, perhaps? ?

diovival Well that's a first. Haven't seen anything like this in my library books. 7y

An apt quote for a Sunday:

"God weighs souls on a pair of scales. In one of the dishes is the soul, and in the other, the tears of those who weep for it. If nobody cries, the soul goes down to hell. If there are enough tears, and they are sufficiently heartfelt, it rises up to heaven. People who are missed by other people, those are the ones who go to paradise. Paradise is the space we occupy in other people's hearts."

I kind-of love this idea.

monalyisha Note: Minus the Hell part. And the God part to some extent. 😝 (edited) 7y

monalyisha @gezemice that's why I just like the last part: about paradise being in the hearts of those who love you. The first part's only cool 'cause it's like various mythological stories about the underworld (the ancient Egyptians and the feather of truth etc, etc). (edited) 7y

A very interesting story. The only things to complain about is the lack of character depth and the length of the book. With so many story lines, it should have been a 500 page novel, not a 170 page one. Each character gets way too little time, and ends up just being another name. Still worth reading though!

Poetic and concise, with a bit of a magical feel. This is the story of Ludo, who shuts herself into her apartment by building a brick wall on the even of Angolan independence. Along the way, we are introduced to a variety of players in the Angolan war, as well as one unexpected character who changes the course for Ludo. This story is told through narrative, prose, and Ludo's journal entries. A short and powerful read - a true work of art.
