` It sounds dreadful, ` I said to him one day. ` But actually the war is the best thing that ever happened to me.` Helena`s mother always said she was a born poetess. It was not a compliment. Now an old woman, Helena looks back on her life & tries to capture the past, filling notebook after notebook with memories of her respectable, rigid upbringing, her unyielding mother, her loyal father, her golden-haired brother. She remembers how, at their uncle`s country house in the summer of 1914, their stately bourgeois life of good manners, white linen & afternoon tea collapsed into ruins. & how, with war, came a kind of liberation amidst the mud & rubble-and the appearance of a young English photographer who transformed her existence. Lyrical & tender, filled with images of blazing intensity, While the Gods Were Sleeping asks how it is possible to record the dislocation of war; to describe the indescribable. It is a breathtaking novel about the act of remembering, how the past seeps into our lives & how those we have lost leave their trace in the present. ”A beautifully unorthodox novel of the Great War...a kaleidoscopic palette” Independent ” Almost too beautiful a writer...the footprint of Proust visible on every page” Financial Times ” Sumptuously imagined” Independent Best Translated Fiction 2014 ” Visceral & heart-stopping...deeply & painfully moving...one of the finest war stories ever written” New Books ” Mortier writes so well that you are inclined to see everything else as of secondary importance” NRC Handelsblad ”A monumental, phenomenal book” De Morgen ” If Marcel Proust had a descendant somewhere in Flanders, he must have been born in Ghent.” Knack Erwin Mortier (1965) made his mark in 1999 with his debut novel Marcel, which was awarded several prizes in Belgium & the Netherlands, & received acclaim throughout Europe. In the following years he quickly built up a reputation as of one the leading authors of his generation. His novel While the Gods were Sleeping received the AKO Literature Prize, one of the most prestigious awards in the Netherlands. His latest work, Stammered Song Book, a mother`s book of hours, ` a raw yet tender elegy about illness & loss, was met with unanimous praise. Mortier`s evocative descriptions bring past worlds brilliantly to life. ...
