I read this because I was watching the Fassbinder film, and discovered I had been ignorant of a novel which is considered a masterpiece of modern German literature, published in 1929.

It’s not an easy read, Doblin’s style is reminiscent of James Joyce, hopping about between POV, interior monologue, sound effects, newspaper articles, songs, speeches, and other books, but it’s worth the trouble.

Apparently the original was written in colloquial German with a heavy dose of wor...more

Bought a copy with too small print, too tight margins, didn't read it. Got this more friendly formatted copy and recently saw it recommended by Sesshu Foster, whose Atomik Aztex I loved. Finally started in on its 635 pages a few weeks ago and now am finally done. It's well worth it. At first I wasn't sure what I was in for. It's not really anything like Joyce, per the book's blurbs, not musical, not based on classical lit, not really seeming to take on Goethe instead of Shakespeare. More like Dostoevsky, maybe, but with lots of modernist techniques -- shifting POVs (often from sentence to sentence), shifting tenses; inclusion of statistics, weather reports, police blotters; no hard returns in long stretches of dialogue so all the quotations/voices run together in really dense oft-confusing paragraphs; no-transition interspersal of biblical stories (Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac; Job's trials) into otherwise realist scenes; excellent dialogues between angels responsible for Franz; appearance of the seven-headed Whore of Babylon and Death; a great section very much like in Atomik Aztex (which also lacked hard returns in stretches of dialogue) relating a lamb's last moments in a slaughterhouse -- all of which nicely complicates what's otherwise a straight-up realist tale about a sad sack trying to do right and live a decent life. The book starts with Franz's release from prison after seven years for manslaughtering his girl. Berlin is a major character in this, of course -- one of those Bellowy/Franzeny books about permeablility between citizen and civilization. Franz is a representative man for the mid-to-late '20s Germany, wherein things ain't so good and the seeds of things way worse are sown and sprouting little swastikas. Nearly five stars for me, but the translation seemed a little off -- or more so, Doblin included mucho 1920s-era German slang, subsequently translated into 1920s-era British slang, so there's this Al Caponesque hard-boiled cockneyed thing going on in the dialogue that wasn't always so accessible for this American ninety years later. Would love a fresh translation by Michael Hofmann. The portrayal of women, also, is real ripe for a feminist critique bashing o'er the head -- the two major women are supportive whores, and one is sort of hysterical, not that this really concerned me all that much, but the extra overt masculinity of everything, the reduction of women to the oldest fashioned roles, did seem a bit over the top. Anyway, a great book about a burly well-meaning low life trying to live a decent life, bashed not by feminist theorists but life itself, by what he considers his fate which is really the consequences of his choices, his lazy perceptions. Keep your eyes open, Franz. Don't wear no armbands, don't be a joiner. "Keep awake, keep awake, for there is something happening in the world. The world is not made of sugar . . . Fate, Fate! It's no use revering it merely as Fate, we must look at it, grasp it, down it, and not hesitate. Keep awake, eyes front, attention, a thousand belong together, and he who won't watch out, is fit to flay and flout." Now I guess I gotta watch the 14-hour Fassbinder film . . .(less)

I characterized this as Joycean before realizing that is the most obvious thing anyone says about it, so I am not so perspicacious. Specifically, it makes heavy use of a modernist device in which the narrative mirrors the increasingly "legible" urban landscape - words are crammed everywhere in the form of advertisements, headlines on display at newspaper kiosks and so on - the story is continuously interwoven with these fragments.

Vaikea, raskas kirja. Aluksi kirjan hieman avantgardistinen kerrontatyyli vaikutti aivan mahtavalta, mutta alkoi pidemmän päälle puuduttaa. Tunne on sama kuin jos laskisi pulkalla – matkan kulkua täytyy päätellä niistä pienistä vilauksista, joita näkee silmille tupruavalta lumelta. Ja olisi kuitenkin tärkeä tietää minne ollaan menossa.

Just recently I came across the same uncommon idea twice in succession, in two wildly different novels from very different times and places. The idea is about a guy who serially passes off his girlfriends to a buddy after he tires of them. I first came across it in the astounding 'Berlin Alexanderplatz' (one of the most original books I've ever come across), and then again in 'The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch'. I'm not surprised to find it in the latter, given the outrageous sexism that per...more

This may well be the coolest cover I've ever seen on a novel. And I will concede that the author has a cool first name and has picked an ideal environment for a work of fiction - 1920s Berlin, in the height of burgeoning Nazism, the era of "Cabaret." And one must concede that Doblin, a psychiatrist who specialized in the treatment of nervous diseases (a la Arthur Schnitzler, whose novella became "Eyes Wide Shut"), and whose influences include Holderlin, Schopenhauer, and Niet...more

Foi numa dessas pesquisas que descobri que este "Berlim Alexander-Platz". Constava numa listagem dos 100 livros mais importantes de sempre. Li a sinopse e desde logo despertei interesse pela obra.

Aliado a este interesse poderá estar o facto de nutrir algum interesse na história da Alemanha do século passado. Assim, Berlim Alexander-Platz não revela apenas a história de Franz Biberkopf, mas também toda a conjuntura da grande cidade que já era Berlim no final dos anos 20.

No que respeita a Franz Biberkopf, trata-se de um homem robusto que durante algum tempo foi trabalhador dos cimentos e mais tarde arrumador de mobílias. A vida nem sempre lhe correu bem, cumpriu pena na prisão de Tegel por ter morto uma antiga namorada, da qual fez prostituta, e é precisamente quando abandona este estabelecimento prisional se inicia este livro. Franz pretende reconciliar-se com a vida, ser uma pessoa honesta e até certa altura consegue-o, mas mais uma vez a vida se encarrega de lhe mostrar que não basta querer.

Alfred Döblin tem nesta obra um trabalho notável e disso parece não haver dúvidas. A forma como descreve a cidade, as suas movimentações, os seus meandros, mostram a qualidade do narrador de uma forma que não se limita a ser descritiva. O enquadramento de uma taberna pode ser feito através de diálogos entre duas personagens que podem nada ter a ver com o resto da história. A facilidade com que muda de cenários faz algumas vezes lembrar António Lobo Antunes, transportando-nos de uma cena de assassínio real para o matadouro da cidade.

A condição humana da personagem também é exemplarmente explorada. Os diversos estados de espírito pelos quais a personagem vai passando proporcionam ao leitor momentos de alegria ou de ansiedade tal é a entrega da narrativa.

Ainda assim, devo alertar que a leitura desta obra nem sempre é fácil. Há alturas em que flui de forma normal, mas em contraste, há alturas em que densifica e pareceu-me que estava a patinar. É portanto uma bela obra para quem gosta de ler. Se está a iniciar-se na leitura, a minha sugestão é: escolha outra...

Having sloughed my way over the years through Bely's Peterburg, Proust, and Joyce, I was enchanted by Berlin Alexanderplatz. No, it is not an easy read. I would not bring it to the beach, but I might to an airport, or a long flight, or one with layovers. The other reviews talk about a "bad translation." I only wish my German were up to the task!

When I learned Berlin Alexanderplatz is a technical first cousin to Joyce's Ulysses I became very interested. In presenting a picture of Weimar-era Berlin through the character of one man, Franz Biberkopf, using elements of stream of consciousness, mythology and Biblical and metaphysical references, he wrote a very impressive novel. He uses Berlin's geography in much the same way Joyce does that of Dublin; I'm sure Doblin's locations of streets, businesses and buildings are as accurate--and as lovingly pictured--as Joyce's Dublin. Berlin Alexanderplatz, too, just as easily focuses on snapshots of the ordinary denizens of this 1920s underworld and, like Joyce, allow us to glimpse them in a cosmic context. But not only echoes of Ulysses rebound in these pages: Berlin shown in the light of world news events recalls Dos Passos, and the presence of vast weather systems over Europe to influence events and the actions of characters just barely predates Robert Musil. This is the marriage of the real, natural Berlin of 1928-29 with the imagined, fictional, mythical. Learning that the translation was by Eugene Jolas surprised me. I know of him as a publisher and member of the Joyce Parisian circle of the 20s and 30s. But as little as I know about translation, this seems an excellent one. To me he's hammered out a vigorous, free-flowing English that captures what I think would be the slangy venacular of this underclass of characters trapped and crushed in their Weimar lives in Berlin, living in the seams between petty crime and convention. As I say, until a few months ago I'd never heard of this novel. I'd begun by watching the 13-episode German film Rainer Werner Fassbinder made of the novel, then, fascinated, moved into a simultaneous reading of the novel. I've still not finished the film. I find, though, that they compliment each other. Reading the novel has enhanced my understanding of the film, as incomplete as my appreciation may be. As readers steeped in 20th century modernism, we find the novel much less opaque. Still, as in reading Eliot or Joyce we never quite get to the bottom of it. Happily, I think, because then it's a novel that'll always have something to offer. I expect it can, as the best novels do, reading after reading, afford you a fresh reality.(less)

"There really isn't much to tell about Franz Biberkopf, we know the lad already. You can guess what a sow will do when she gets into her trough. Only a sow is better off than a man, because she's just a lump of flesh and fat, and what can befall her later, doesn't matter much, if only the swill lasts: at most she might litter again, and at the end of her life is the cleaver, but that's not really so horrid or exciting after all: before she's noticed anything--and what does an animal like that notice? -- she's gone, finished. But a human being, he's got eyes, you bet, there's a lot to him, and everything's all topsy-turvy; he can think a hell of a lot and has to think (he's got that terrible head of his) about what may happen to him."

This book, a modernist rambling cacophony of words, sounds and imagery is a remarkable effort on many levels and I would be inclined to give it four, maybe even five stars based on that alone. But the cleverness and trickery of the constantly shifting narrators, overlapping interior dialogues, and paragraphs of spoken dialogue from multiple characters happening all at once made it so that I always felt at a distance from the book. Couple that with the fact that our hero Franz Biberkopf really seemed more like the above quoted sow than a thoughtful human being. He's a rather amorphous blob of a character and I gather he's meant to be symbolic of the Franz Six Pack of his day but I just never really felt any interest in him. I didn't empathize with him. I didn't love him. I didn't hate him. There is a kind of satisfying redemption for Franz at the end but I spent most of the book wanting to kick him in his big fat sausage-stuffed derriere just so he'd do something interesting.

That said there were some spectacular sections in this book that blew me away. A short chapter near the beginning whisks you through a seemingly mundane description of every building and its inhabitants on a Berlin city block. It's rather exhilaratingly executed and is as close to painting a filmic scene as I can imagine in a book. The book has a very strong visual sense and Fritz Lang's Metropolis kept popping up in my mind's eye. Apparently Döblin was a fan of the Futurist movement and I can see how he tried to incorporate that in his novel - quite successfully I would say. We see both the good and the bad of the constant pounding of modern technology on the city streets.

Dealing primarily with the dance between fate and personal responsibility, there's clearly a lot being said about what was going on in Döblin's Weimar Germany. For the majority of the book, Franz seems like a pawn just being constantly crapped on and unable to do anything about it but the truth is he can do something but chooses to just waddle through life without reacting to much of anything. This book came out in 1929 and Döblin clearly saw where his country was headed. I did get lost in the details of the politics, not knowing enough about the minutiae of the era but it's not too difficult to get the general drift.

There's just so much going on in this book that I can't really write about it too clearly yet. I reserve the right to edit this and change my rating at a later date upon further reflection! This is definitely a "difficult" book and I didn't find it nearly as engaging as I hoped but I also see that there's a lot of meat here to chew on. Given that I'm about to embark on the Fassbinder epic, I suspect I'll be rethinking this book in the next few weeks.(less)

It's time to be honest: I've never finished this book.
Indeed I was intrigued by the title, by the fact that I know quite well the place itself - I mean, the square - having spent a month close to it in formerly East Berlin.

This gives a view into 1929 Berlin. I really enjoyed the way Doblin proved a kind of written map of this neiborhood. Concentrating on the speed, sound and advertising. As for the narrative it is broken and difficult to fallow. Instead of painting a picture that you look into from the outside, Doblin incase you in the picture. The mental state of Franz is yours as you read, fractured and broken. It is a style of writing that is new to me.

Comparisons are made between Döblin's book and the work of other modernists like Joyce, but I don't think the parallels run very far. This work, a Brechtian chronicle of decadence in the underworld in Weimar Germany, does use shifting interior monologues and long passages of dialogue without attributions that sometimes make it hard to keep track of who's speaking. Literary allusions in the form of passages from Ecclesiastes inserted directly into the text are used. But the result is rather dr...more

1997 was a rushing tide of hefty novels sweeping under to revel in their wake. Such an episodic steamroller, the reader is as tethered as anyone by mechanized operations of the starnge, new Berlin.
