1979: Die Rote Armee marschiert nach Afghanistan. Das Land taumelt ins Chaos. Partisanen leisten den um ein Vielfaches überlegenen Besatzern schier unüberwindbaren Widerstand. Als die Bilder von ausgebrannten Sowjet-Panzern um die Welt gehen, fühlt sich ein junger Amerikaner aufgerufen zum Handeln. Seine kleine Schwester ertrank, weil er unachtsam war. Ihr konnte er nicht helfen; jetzt zieht er los, um die Welt zu retten. In Afghanistan will er Brücken bauen und hängt am Ende erschöpft und orientierungslos über der Schulter eines Mudschahed, der ihn durch Gebirgsflüsse tragen muss. Während er allmählich begreift, dass er angesichts dieses Krieges machtlos ist, sehen die kämpfenden Afghanen in dem jungen Amerikaner einen Superhelden. Jeden Tag ging er durch Saddar und führte Interviews mit Mudschaheddin-Kommandeuren, die in ihren Hotelzimmern ihre Gewehre putzten, sich mit allerlei Afghanen und Pakistanis unterhielten, Cola und Sprite kauften und sich in Rikschas zu den politischen Büros fahren ließen. Im Hotel gab es einen Typen aus Chitral, der sich sehr für den Jungen Mann interessierte. Sein Bruder sei der Polizeichef von Peschawar, sagte er, und die Polizei würde kommen und den Jungen Mann verhaften. Und was geschieht dann?, fragte der Junge Mann besorgt. Man wird Sie schlagen, Sie CIA! Jussuf Ali kicherte und schlug dem Jungen Mann auf die Schulter.

Never before available in paperback and all but invisible for twenty years, a personal account of the origins of America's longest war. In 1982, the young William Vollmann worked odd jobs, including as a secretary at an insurance company, until he'd saved up enough money to go to Afghanistan, where he wanted to join the mujahedeen to fight the Soviets. The resulting book wasn't published until 1992, and Library Journal wrote: "The wrong book written at the wrong time. . . . With the situation in Afghanistan rapidly heading toward resolution . . . libraries may safely skip this." Thirty years later--and with the United States still mired in the longest war of its history--it's time for a reassessment of Vollmann's heartfelt tale of idealism and its terrifying betrayals. An alloy of documentary and autobiographical elements characteristic of Vollmann's later nonfiction, An Afghanistan Picture Show is not a work of conventional reportage; instead, it's an account of a subtle and stubborn consciousness grappling with the limits of will and idealism imposed by violence and chaos.

Nel 1979, ventenne, William Vollmann si appassiona alle sorti dell’Afghanistan invaso dalle truppe sovietiche e comincia a passare da un lavoro all’altro, cercando di accumulare il denaro sufficiente per partire e affiancare i mujaheddin nella loro lotta di liberazione contro i russi. Nel 1982 parte alla volta del Pakistan, dove trascorrerà buona parte del suo soggiorno in casa di un generale afgano in esilio, parlando con i capi della resistenza, con funzionari pakistani e internazionali che gestiscono gli aiuti per i profughi, e con i profughi stessi, sia quelli più fortunati che si possono pagare la permanenza in città sia i moltissimi costretti a vivere in condizioni pietose nei campi.Un’esperienza in larga parte fallimentare, che Afghanistan Picture Show racconta a posteriori attraverso lo sguardo di un Vollmann più adulto e consapevole, capace di guardare con ironia e affetto il proprio io più giovane e ingenuo, che riesce sempre a porre le domande più sbagliate alle persone sbagliate, mentre si contorce tra i dolori della dissenteria. Tra conversazioni piene di equivoci ed estenuanti camminate nell'impervio territorio afgano, trascinato e talvolta trasportato pietosamente dai mujaheddin, Vollmann mette in scena l’idealismo ingenuo e il colonialismo dello sguardo americano sul mondo, in un’opera ibrida che si muove tra romanzo e diario, saggio storico e reportage.

WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD A daring literary masterpiece of historical fiction that weaves together the gripping stories of those caught in the web of authoritarian rule. Through interwoven narratives that paint a portrait of 20th century Germany and the USSR and the monstrous age they defined, Europe Central captures a chorus of voices both real and fictional—a young German who joins the SS to fight its crimes, two generals who collaborate with the enemy for different reasons, and the tumultuous life of Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich amidst Stalinist oppression. In this magnificent work of fiction, acclaimed author William T. Vollmann turns his trenchant eye on these two authoritarian cultures to render a mesmerizing perspective on human experience during wartime.

With his first three works of fiction—the novels You Bright and Risen Angels and The Ice-Shirt, and the collection The Rainbow Stories—William T. Vollmann announced himself as a writer of rare and ferocious talent, with critics comparing him to William Burroughs, Thomas Pynchon, and T.C. Boyle. His new novel is the story of Jimmy, who has been deserted by his lover, a prostitute by the name of Gloria. In the despair of his loneliness, and his drunken grief, he reassembles Gloria’s presence out of whatever he can buy from the hookers on the street—the fragments of their lives and dreams, and locks of hair they are willing to share for a price. In his search for these snatches of intimacy he meets the hustlers, drunks, and prostitutes of San Francisco’s Tenderloin district: Candy, who beats her customers when they ask for it but refuses to let them call her a bitch; Snake, who pimps his wife; Nicole, whose job it is to give men AIDS; Jack, who shoots his woman’s earnings into his arm but still likes Chopin even though he doesn’t have a record player; and Gloria, who may or may not be a figment of Jimmy’s imagination. Vollmann writes with explosive power of the inner city, unflinching in the way he confronts the solitude of the homeless and unloved, the insulted and the injured of skid-row America. His exhilarating, high-voltage style and lyric language touch the heart and retrieve a jubilant integrity from the harsh struggles of his characters. Here is a world of harrowing truth, beautifully expressed by a writer of prodigious gifts.
