\u2022 “The structure came to Argento while he was tripping on some good acid, a fevered dream logic piecing everything together. […] ‘People came running out, screaming, telling people in the queue “Don\u2019t go in! Don\u2019t go in! It\u2019s all witches!” It just made everyone in line want to get in even more\u2026 it was amazing.'” Ben Cobb<\/a> talks to Dario Argento about the making of a horror masterpiece, Suspiria<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Look, any honest estimation of the new translation, by Michael Hofmann, of Alfred D\u00f6blin\u2019s Berlin Alexanderplatz <\/em>from NYRB Classics is bound to begin with duteous piety, lauding it, since it is a one-and-done masterpiece that\u2019s basically impossible to oversell, as (why not) the single biggest event in publishing in a lifetime, a crucial refurbishment of something English-language readers have been missing out on for a century, and a long-missing piece of Modernism\u2019s ponderous jigsaw. All of which is the case of course. But when we\u2019re talking about a dense, all-but-untranslatable Weimar-era novel, whose only point of reference for Anglophone audiences until now has been Rainer Werner Fassbinder\u2019s meticulous fifteen-hour adaptation from 1980 (one heck of a tease) it feels important to attempt a slight rescue from its own forbidding reputation, because Alexanderplatz<\/em> is less a book than a living thing, and one that joyously resists the dust heap of bourgeois literary scholarship with its every line.<\/p>\n
