Welcome

I started this blog in 2013 to share my reflections on reading, writing and psychology, along with my journey to become a published novelist.​  I soon graduated to about twenty book reviews a month and a weekly 99-word story. Ten years later, I've transferred my writing / publication updates to my new website but will continue here with occasional reviews and flash fiction pieces, and maybe the odd personal post.

ANNE GOODWIN'S WRITING NEWS

How much disturbance can you tolerate in a novel? Indigo by Clemens J Satz

30/1/2015

25 Comments

 
Picture
The blue cover of the English edition shows a silhouette of four young people above a précis of the pitch: “What if you had a child who was toxic to you and everyone else?” At the bottom, a further enticement, or is it a warning? “You won’t get away unharmed.”

I wasn’t expecting to be disturbed by a futuristic novel about a sinister epidemic of which children are the only carriers, causing anyone who comes near them a barrage of symptoms including dizziness, severe headaches, and nausea. It might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but the darker side of the relationship between old and young, and the devastating impact of parental distance on children’s development, is familiar territory for me, and I looked forward to seeing how this would be explored. The back-cover blurb did nothing to discourage me, but perhaps I ought to have paid more attention to the phrase “part postmodern puzzle”, post-modernism being a concept I’ve consistently failed to understand.

We follow two men who met years before at the Helianau Institute, where Indigo children received an education far away from the general population. The first, who just happens to have the same name as the author of the novel, was a teacher of mathematics until he started asking too many questions about students being taken away in strange pantomime outfits. The second, Robert Tätzel, is an artist and former Indigo carrier whose curiosity about the past is sparked by a newspaper report of Clemens’ acquittal in a brutal murder trial.

One of the delights of fiction is being able to spend time in the company of people who, in real life, we might avoid. Yet I didn’t encounter a single character in this novel I wanted to get to know better, even in the safety of the page, and the two main characters were decidedly odd, both socially awkward with peculiar phobias and compulsions: Clemens with his red and green files of cuttings of the tales of human cruelty that make him physically ill (which, in that perhaps postmodern way, are interspersed between more conventional* chapters); Robert destroying the matchbox houses built by his girlfriend as an outlet for his anger and depicting the gruesome subjects of animal experimentation in his paintings. That both men had a devoted partner ministering to their vulnerabilities did not make them any more appealing.

*And did I say conventional? Well, that applies only if you consider reporting the detail of banal conversations while obfuscating any context that might enable the reader to feel grounded makes for a conventional novel. Clemens Setz has received numerous prizes for his fiction, so evidently I’m missing something here, but I wouldn’t have thanked him if I’d got a headache in my effort to find it. Perhaps the theme of the novel is to be experienced in the process of reading it. If so, this quote from Clemens’ green folder which appears towards the end of the novel might sum it up (p328):

We’re capable of torturing people if that will make our headache better. … But something’s wrong with us, we’re not quite right in the world. We don’t fit in, nature is of no consequence to us … Our thoughts take strange paths. That results in a great deal of art. … But we would probably even sink a whole continent in the sea just to be a little less lonely.

Indigo was first published in Germany and translated into English by Ross Benjamin. Thanks to Serpent’s Tail for my review copy. For another translated novel from this publisher that I actually enjoyed, see my review of The Winter War. For a more containing account of the human capacity for torture, see In the Orchard, the Swallows. See also my review of Goodhouse for an engaging exploration of the damage perpetrated by institutional “care” systems for troublesome children.

Reading and reviewing Indigo has heightened my awareness of huge difference between readers in what we look for in a novel. Discussing our different reactions has been one of the pleasures of book blogging. I like to think I’m open to experimentation, and steer clear of formulaic reads, I’m drawn to accounts of trauma and the fallibility of human institutions, but I need to be treated gently when I get there. Fine writing, strong characterisation, a glimmer of hope or a writer who doesn’t seem set to give me a hard time can help me through the most challenging topics, but I suppose I have my limits. On the other hand, I’ve also been disturbed by novels treating serious subjects too lightly, as in Hidden Knowledge and Lost and Found, so maybe I’m just an awkward type. What about you?

Thanks for reading. I'd love to know what you think. If you've enjoyed this post, you might like to sign up via the sidebar for regular email updates and/or my quarterly Newsletter.

I'm fascinated by this review (and a little by the book as well) which is odd because, in answer to your question, I can tolerate very little disturbing themes/scenes in novels or movies. You've caught me here. I want to look this book up. Also, I'm curious what this has to do with the Indigo Children idea from the 70s. Is this a twist on that concept?

Sarah, that's strange, because after your comments on Goodhouse, this was one I wanted you to AVOID! But, of course, different people are disturbed by different types of disturbing things.
Gosh – and gosh also to Norah and Charli – like Geoff, I'd never heard of Indigo children and assumed it was a total invention. Whether the author got his idea for the novel from that, I can't say, but there's no mention of it in the press notes I got from the publisher.

Oh, no. I'm not reading this book. I wanted to see what others had to say about the connection to the Indigo Children (if there was one, which it seems, like Norah said, it does in a twisted way). It not likely that it's a coincidence.

I'm sorry. I meant that Charli, not Norah, had mentioned this could have a twisted connection. :-)

Like you, Anne, I've never got "postmodernism". I discussed it in philosophy groups years ago, and have had it explained by my, possibly postmodern, children; but it's real meaning still eludes me. I was hoping to benefit by following the link you provided but I still feel just as baffled.
Like Sarah, I wondered if the book was a take on the concept of Indigo Children, though I didn't think it went as far back as the 70s. My neice told me about it as she considered her boy to be an Indigo Child. I bought the book "The Indigo Children" by Lee Carroll and Jan Tober (pub 1999) to read, but it is still sitting on my shelf, unread. The front cover boasts that it is "Essential reading for all parents of unusually bright and active children". The blurb asks "Is your child misunderstood? Does your child seem different? Is your child uniquely gifted?" and says "You may have an Indigo Child ..."
I think you have convinced me that this one is not for me. There is so much that is for me, I won't waste time with what's not. Thanks for your reviews which help me choose. :)

Not sure when the idea came about but the Indigo Children are all born in the 70s, the Crystal Children are born later (the children of the Indigos). It's a generational thing. Please don't ask me how I know this. ;-)

I was really into the Indigo children and read the book Norah mentions, but Geoff might think we're on the verge of breaking out the yoga poses. I think the idea appealed to parents who considered their children to be bright and individualistic, breaking away from generational patterns of children being obedient and pliable (or problematic). Interesting that this book uses the color to describe an unsettling and distancing toxic reaction. I wonder if that is an intentional comparison to the Carroll & Tober book? If so it makes me think of this book in a different light -- that the evolution of humankind might disturb the status quo and instead of embracing the change society attempts to isolate it.

Annecdotist
1/2/2015 03:24:16 am

To me, though it's the concept of parents somehow being in awe of their children that's disturbing here but, like I said to Norah, that could be a discussion for her blog.

Yes, the Indigo (and Crystal) Children are held in awe, Anne. They are supposed to be better than their parents--than all of us. They are higher beings. There is a big following so I wonder how these children are treated, how they are brought up. ? In some articles, the concept tries to explain away autism and give hope to parents that they're children are not on the spectrum but are higher beings. That part of it bothers me because it gives parents an excuse not to accept their child's diagnosis and, therefore, are not likely to help them. But that's only one part of it.

I like what Charli said about the intentional comparison and how disturbing it would be if the author's intent was to say that the evolution of humankind would upset the status quo so we should consider it toxic and lock it away.

Interesting premise that human evolution could lead to its destruction. In a way, isn't that what's happening with climate change? Our clever brains have got us to the situation where we use up more and more of the world's resources but we might not be clever enough to stop us wiping it out.
Or maybe the Indigos are kind of Messiah tribe that will save us from all this? Personally, I'm not betting on it!

I'm with you there, Geoff. Great story, I think I might even have read the book – obviously saw the film.

Well, Norah, your understanding of philosophy is deeper than mine so if you don't understand post-modernism I'll happily give up trying.
I'm interested in what you and Sarah and Charli have said about the Indigo children in real life – I'm not sure about labelling children for their special qualities but I can see it could have been useful at some point perhaps to explain a child's disruptive behaviour in school when they were just bored out of their minds. A post from you might be more illuminating on this point?

Thanks for your confidence in me, Anne, but I think this one is a bit beyond me. I'm not really in touch with those "higher beings". :)

I'd never heard of indigo children before so thanks for that enlightenment. I'm also not big on graphic descriptions of any sort, though I will tolerate quite a lot for a good story. But it has to be really good. I had nightmares after the man pig scene in the hospital in Oh Lucky Man but that was such a great film I went with it. I don't ink this is for me.

I think might have mentioned the pig scene somewhere before (which is itself an indication of how much it's disturbed you) but I don't think I've ever seen it – and certainly don't want to now!

What Sarah has to say about the Indigo (and Crystal) children really resonates with me -- that parents want to feel that their children are something spectacular such as highly evolved beings rather than diagnosed with something from the autism spectrum. I think that is at the heart of the book by Carroll & Tober. When I worked in the natural food industry I met high number of parents with autistic children because many were following gluten-free/casiene-free diets that seemed to help. The organization I worked for specialized in that niche along with organic food. It was straight forward and several doctors in the Twin Cities explained how autistic children often had leaky gut syndrome which the diet addresses. However, any correlations between addressing the leaky gut and diminishing traits of autism were not considered supported by the medical profession. I discovered the Indigo children book in our store one day because it had become a popular book among families with autistic children and made sense to carry it. While written by psychologists (if I recall correctly) it basically perpetuated a new age myth about auras and how they defined people's personalities. Supposedly, aura readers in the 1970s predicted the coming of the Indigo Children as a new evolution in humanity and that the indigo, then next the crystal souls would lead us to heightened awareness. The sad thing is, as Sarah really just clarified for me, parents struggling with the every day realities of autistic children now had an "out." Their children aren't autistic, they are higher beings sent to save humanity. It gave purpose. False hope, really. I met and frequently talked with a mother of a proclaimed Indigo Child. She and her son were in the store daily. He was such a beautiful child with long blond curls. His mother told me that Indigos were frequently "androgynous." He never spoke (he was completely non-verbal) yet was immensely calm. Which was unusual. Often parents who brought their autistic children had to deal with frequent outbursts and over-stimulation. In fact, I wrote an article in the organization's publication explaining why our store had crying babies and screaming children. We were one of the first places to offer prepared food and ingredients to follow the GF/CF diet. Also, our staff had tremendous empathy for our autistic community so parents felt welcomed and were not embarrassed by outbursts and so many of us even got attached to the wonderful children we met and watched grow up over the years. Thus we had a store full of autistic children on a regular basis. I was once told that I was a "violet" who was here to usher in the indigo children! Really never knew what to make of that and as far as I know I have not ushered in any higher beings! That's the extent of my indigo experience. I saw real results from the GF/CF diet. Not sure I even saw results from the book nor do I think it had any practical information. Without having read Setz's "Indigo" I think the author is making a connection in a twisted way to the idea of children being evolved differently and I wonder if the isolation is meant to mimic the isolation experienced by autistic children (and their families)? The interesting 1970s "prediction" that these children were "coming" eerily corresponds to unprecedented rise in autism spectrum disorders. But I think the whole idea of Indigo Children exploits parents struggling with the intensity of daily reality, and plays into parents who idolize their children. I also met lots of "helicopter parents" in Minnesota, but that a whole other story!

Wow, Charli, you've certainly responded to my request for a blog post on the issue. This whole area is really fascinating and I've asked the publicist if she can shed any light on a possible link to the novel (can't guarantee a response however). As I recall, there was something in the novel about parents thinking their children were special and going to great lengths to accommodate direct toxic elements.
It's good that you were able to provide a setting where families with disabled children were made welcome. In Britain, it's often the case where ordinary children being noisy in public places is frowned upon, so how much more difficult for parents of children who have much less control over their behaviours.
I could see parents wanting to see their children are special to avoid the sometimes limiting aspects of more conventional diagnoses. Interesting though, how autism is now almost universally accepted (whereas Indigo is still somewhat left field): one of my ex-colleagues who specialises in learning disabilities is rather sceptical of the concept of autism as something distinct from other learning disabilities, but perhaps more acceptable to parents.
Fascinating topic, and one I certainly wasn't expecting when I posted this review, so thanks for widening the scope of the discussion.

Awesome, Charli. Thanks for this enlightenment! Maybe you really are violet. I think the mother who told me about the book hoped that her 'different' son was one of the higher beings. She was into other forms of pseudoscience too, which can be comforting when the truth is not what you want to believe.

I'm probably scarlet. I don't buy any of it, tbh. I work with autistic, albeit at the milder end, young adults at a weekly club and they are a grand bunch whose parents and carers struggle with the daily realities of these conditions, of which there are many shades. Anne's colleague who thinks of autism as just a branch of learning difficulties may, from my limited exposure, have a point as we have youngsters with LDs as well and they have overlapping characteristics. The extent of quackery though from diets to pseudo science seems very prevalent as people try and explain away what seems like a (simplistic) conundrum for a lot of people - if these youngsters are labelled with a condition it's because they fall outside of 'normal' yet they are often highly intelligent, perhaps even more intelligent in some ways than others who fit 'normal'. So there has to be something more to it - and being Indigo probably helps.

The concept of Indigo Children is not one I had encountered before, at least not consciously. (Subconscious, I cannot vouch for...) But in 2005 when I was beginning a novel, I needed a name for a western Plains town, and choose "Indigo". Out of thin air, I assumed, although several years later ! penned a back-story that explained the town's origins with settlement by a family of fullers and dyers. The town and its streets are named for the mill, fabrics, and sundry natural and common dye-sources.

I would not have heard the phrase as a child, although I fell well outside "normal". (As did my spouse and a multitude of other engineering students; once we met at school, I heard many stories that echoed from my youth.). But if this concept arose in the 70s, we were already past being influenced by it.

Thanks for adding this, Pat. Your title makes a lot of sense. It reminds me of a village we used to go past when I was a child that made blue dye that had stained most of the houses

It might be a long way from your western plains, however.
