Description
Die Wiedergeburt der gothic novel aus dem Geist des Kinos Christian Krachts neuer Roman »Die Toten« führt uns mitten hinein in die gleißenden, fiebrigen Jahre der Weimarer Republik, als die Kultur der Moderne, besonders die Filmkultur, eine frühe Blüte erlebte. Hier, in Berlin, »dem Spleen einer unsicheren, verkrampften, labilen Nation«, versucht ein Schweizer Filmregisseur, angestachelt von einem gewissen Siegfried Kracauer und einer gewissen Lotte Eisner, den UFA-Tycoon Hugenberg zur Finanzierung eines Film zu überreden, genauer gesagt: eines Gruselfilms, genauer gesagt: in Japan. Das überschneidet sich mit ebensolchen Plänen im dortigen Kaiserreich, mit denen man dem entstehenden Hollywood-Imperium Paroli bieten will ... Ein Roman in betörend-magischer Sprache, der das Geheimnis des Films als Kunstwerk der Moderne feiert, seine großen Meister von Murnau bis Lang, die Sehnsucht großer Künstler nach Transzendenz und Erlösung und die Erinnerung als Quelle unseres Ichs. Ein Roman über die Geister, die ständig unter uns sind, ob wir es wollen oder nicht.
