All right, I normally wouldn't review something on Amazon, but there's a review on here by someone who calls himself P.H. that's so annoyingly confused that I had to reply. This is a book of intricate literary games by a master of English and of complex allusions. If we still lived in a literate culture, it's a book that would be recognized as a small gem and a work of genius.P.H. thinks the first story is an attempt to do something like The Screwtape Letters. It's nothing of the sort. It's a play on 1890's literary devils, and it is the furthest thing in the world from C. S Lewis apologetics. This devil is an apologist for rebellion against God, and the story he tells is one that could be taken as supporting his views, depending how you read it. Part of the game in this story is that it is written in a Parnassian style, imitating the style of the fin-de-siecle authors Hart is "channeling." There are touches of Huysmans, Bloy, Louys, and authors of that sort. P.H. evidently can't follow what's going on, so he accuses Hart of writing too lushly. Most clumsily of all, he complains about one very long, complex, gaudy sentence without even noticing that the sentence in question is spoken by the devil, and that the reason for its length and lushness is that it is a cruel, sardonic depiction of the self-deceiving, romantic, ultimately barren life of the main female character. It's actually a tour de force of psychological deconstruction, and leaves you feeling nothing for the woman but disgusted pity.The second story is written in a high classical and coldly lovely style, brilliantly twisting biblical imagery to describe the spiritual life of the last priest of Apollo in Antioch, set off against the story of Julian the Apostate's futile attempt to revive Antioch's pagan past. It's a wonderful essay in the difference between religion and faith, or I should say between fideism and faith.The third story is written in gorgeous fragments of language, somewhere between prose and verse, seeming to narrate an uneventful day, but really leading up to a crushing conclusion. It weaves together all sorts of biblical, hermetic, and literary allusions. I especially admire the way the garden metaphor functions (lost paradise, etc.), and the way the opening image and the final image reflect one another, giving a picture of a soul entering and leaving a broken world.The fourth story is about dreams within dreams, the fluid nature of reality, the difference between what is real for each of us and what is real out there in the world, and it is written in a flowing dreamlike prose.The fifth story is mostly unadorned, in a starker plainer prose, and is a frightening picture of a man who has gone mad waiting for the "Other" (God? Another soul? A lover?) whose coming he believes has been promised to him, but who never arrives.I hope P.H. widens his readings, and learns to appreciate real brilliance when he stumbles over it. And I hope the literary world some day comes to recognize this book for what it is.
I'm simply copying my review from GoodReads here. I know that there is some manner of overlap between the two but it seems criminal to me that this book only has twelve reviews at the time I'm writing this. I have come to love this collection more over the last three years and still struggle to understand why it is one of Dr Hart's most overlooked works."I had very high expectations going into this book. I very much enjoy David Bentley Hart's nonfiction works. Coincidentally, I'm sure others have gone into considerations regarding the structure of the stories and their literary merit on a deeper level than I intend to here. His writings are deeply personal for me, so this will be more of a reflection. Knowing these were to be published made me curious to see how his style of writing and also his philosophy would play into writing of another nature."I have to confess myself rather disappointed in the former. Hart's penchant for precise language when discussing history, theology, or philosophy approach pleonasm (a word I use because he taught it to me in another o his books) in some passages and they can be arduous to get through. However, I will say that there are other passages to which this style are perfectly suited and he paints images of both setting and internal life which fairly leap off the page. I found some of his descriptions of loss and fading and estrangement to be frighteningly poignant for their familiarity."The latter consideration gave the first two stories ("The Devil and Pierre Gernet" and "The House of Apollo") less of an impact than they may have had. However, I was happy to see their imaginative translation from the presentation of similar ideas in his nonfiction work."Enter the last three stories ("A Voice from the Emerald World", "The Ivory Gate", and "The Other".) They stretched me, given my knowledge of his work. It is perhaps a silly endeavor, but I had to work to see how they fit in the larger scheme. This may be due to the fact that my knowledge of his works incomplete, but one can still see glimmers of these meditations on loss, struggle with the transcendent, and reality in what I have accomplished. I finished each one with a desire to sit back and reflect as opposed to my normal desire to move on. Perhaps that is because I usually feel that I have comprehended the work on a high enough level that I can examine it and, if necessary, internalize it. I found that to be a difficult task here, though not an unwelcome one."
Well, I discovered the devil has as big of a vocabulary as David Bentley Hart, who would have thought? :) This book resulted in well over 100 words added to my vocabulary builder on my kindle and those were only the ones I looked up. It was a bit obnoxious. The worst part was reading his descriptions of the physical surroundings; he would occasionally carry on and on, and well, it was rather hard to visualize; since I would need to look up every other word to even know what he was describing or the definition of adjectives being used to color objects known.But with those complaints aside, there was much beauty, emotion and depth within these pages. The "A Voice from the Emerald World" completely wrecked me, when I finished my cheeks were wet with tears and I walked through my house in a daze. "The Ivory Gate" actually resulted in the following nights being filled with dreams more vivid and rich. Every story Hart wrote stirred within me the desire to write something myself.
Okay, I'll 'fess up. I did need the dictionary from time to time. DBH has a somewhat broader vocabulary than I.This is just fun reading. While it's fundamentally different from all his other great stuff, it still has his distinct fingerprints all over it. If you like David Bentley Hart, you'll enjoy The Devil and Pierre Gernet. And, if you're like me, you'll need a few readings to begin to dig beneath the surface.
