Short but packs as punch.
Garth Greenwall: What Belongs to Me.
No matter our sexual preference, we can all identify with aspects of the relationship this novel describes. We are forced to recognise that we cannot truly know the inside of another’s mind.
In What Belongs to Me, we are presented with two convincing male characters – the unnamed narrator and his partner Mitko – through whom we explore a raft of emotional and sexual confusions. I find I don’t have to like them to feel compassion for them. They provide me with a means of exploring a side of society that I know little about. The characters’ base line is their sexuality, but in other aspects they are poles apart. Greenwall seems to me to be playing this like a Greek tragedy, (not that I know much about that – I’m a fairly visual person; while reading I kept thinking of Greek masks.)
Bulgaria, ‘over there, behind the wall’. This is the place to which the narrator chooses to go, perhaps a place his father would consider right for a ‘faggot’.
Both characters have a past that informs their physical and emotional actions. Both are dealing with self-worth and existing on the fringe, surviving in different ways, demanding more and hoping for more. Mitko, the narrator’s partner, seems the more fit for survival but both characters have a hard carapace.
I'm not sure how seriously to take the narrator. His reticence (and occasional ambivalence) is a feature of this book which I found somewhat irritating initially; but it becomes necessary as Garth Greenwell explores the narrator’s rejection of the shame he was made to feel in early life and shows his later realisation that he has been shaped by that shame. Clearly both characters have difficulty in dealing with their homosexuality due to other people's attitudes towards it. Mitko has become very exploiting and uncaring, but the narrator accepts his behaviour because of his own feelings of isolation and unworthiness. Neither of them seems to know or understand that being gay does not exclude them from having a loving relationship.
Greenwall’s poetic prose is delightful, there is plenty to interest a deep reader here. First person narration, stream of consciousness, skilfully handled flashbacks fold in on one another. The importance of ‘place’ is a strong element in this story. This novel demands recognition.
An entertaining and thought provoking read. 4*
