The serious drawback of this book is the plot. In short, the action is filled with events that are difficult to explain, even if you try to interpret it as kindly as possible. When the reader closes the Anamnesis after reading the last page, a desperate question arises in his head: "What was it all about?!". I dare say there is no answer. The intensity of suspense in the book in question is so great that I wonder if it's too optimistic to say that it has a plot at all. Unfortunately, the main technical errors do not help to understand the whole.
The stylization of spoken language is grotesque, as can be seen from the very first pages. In any case, even if the dialogues don't look absurdly caricatured, they come down to annoying banter and jokes, as exemplified by the conversations between Moriel and Kristina. There are disadvantages, although I would rather talk about "tricks": in the Azores, most of the inhabitants speak excellent English, and when Moriel finally finds himself in the province, who is not proud of knowing Shakespeare's speech, suddenly speaks Portuguese fluently himself.
The stranger not only saves Moriel's life, but also brings him to his house and gives him money for several months of life, and the writer himself does not even ask who and why ordered the attempt on his life... All of this, of course, sounds extremely convincing. The characters' motives are equally "authentic"; here I am referring to an excerpt from the book. That's what Moriel thought right after he escaped an attempt on his life:
"I was confused. I was running away from the scene of the accident. However, following my gut, I felt that I had to trust Kristina. Everything seemed different to me now than when we first met. She seemed extremely strong and resilient. [...] I doubted if Kristina was really who she claimed to be.: an animator of culture. Or maybe an animator of violence? "(pp. 105-106).
At one point in his novel, Sydahl presents a specific program manifesto:
"I didn't want to [...] focus on describing my more or less authentic adventures. Rather, I meant rebelling against overwhelming sensationalism and giving it a role in the background" (p. 151).
Perhaps that's why every few pages the reader comes across comments about modern culture: rock music, young people who don't want to move in front of a computer, or a low level of readership. Unfortunately, these remarks would have come true either if they had appeared by chance, or if the author had given more space to their development and deepening. Meanwhile, Sidal doesn't do either, and he likes to put as many eloquent as painfully banal and superficial observations into the mouth of the main character. As for the statement itself, Sidal- Anamnesis, this is not a rebellion. Rather, it is the barely audible voice of a writer who, apparently, at some point stopped understanding what he wanted to say in his novel.
