In this internationally acclaimed novel, Steve Sem-Sandberg brilliantly refracts the story of Georg BÃŧchnerâs groundbreaking play Woyzeck through a new lens.
W., the astonishing novel by August Prizeâwinning author Steve Sem-Sandberg, is a literary reimagining of one of modern literatureâs touchstone texts, the play Woyzeck. Considered the first modern drama, Woyzeck tells the story of a loyal soldier and survivor of the Napoleonic Wars who, in a fit of jealous rage, kills the woman he loves. In 1836 this true story inspired Georg BuĖchner to write the play, unfinished at his death at just 23 years old.
W. grippingly recounts the loversâ relationship, the murder case, and the soldierâs execution. The story unfolds as the soldier W. struggles to recount the events of his life. He grasps at understanding and experiences feelings of time and timelessness. He finds patterns and repetitions, but these are of no interest to those determining his fate.
Sem-Sandberg searched court archives to bring new light to this story, and he masterfully sustains a rich period atmosphere through poetic and controlled prose, down to the choice of pronouns as the soldier is held at a cold distance in court proceedings when addressed with the formal, capitalized âYou.â
Against a landscape devastated by inhumanity and greed that yet manages to sustain hope, Steve Sem-Sandbergâs W. tells a ruthless, moving, and utterly relevant story as the soldier W. desperately and humanly fights to make something of the life given to him.
âCogent and affecting . . . In Mr. Sem-Sandbergâs fine novel, the tragedy is real but much more specific and conditional. It gives us, the readers, just enough of a loophole to evade its reckonings.â âWall Street Journal
