Hannibal. Dr Hannibal Lecter. "A brief silence follows the name, always, in any civilized gathering," wrote Thomas Harris at the beginning of his stunning The Silence of the Lambs in 1988. You don't want him in your head, you don't want you in his head. Now, a decade later, Lecter is back--ready to take up his place as one of the cult figures of contemporary fiction. Almost a modern myth, in fact, if the scale, and thrill, of the publication of Hannibal is anything to go by. Harris's book is "news": not only "book news" but "real" news, one of the biggest publishing events of the decade in terms of print run (one million copies worldwide), film rights (Hollywood has paid six million dollars for the book: Anthony Hopkins and Julianne Moore will star) and cultural cachet.
The serial killer--like his counterpart, the psychologist-profiler--is a figure for our times; "In the contemporary mind," as one psychoanalyst, Christopher Bollas, has put it, "the serial killer is the statement of evil". Psychiatrist and killer, Lecter gives a peculiar twist to that evil (and Harris has always been interested in the precarious division between killer and cure). In Red Dragon, published in 1981, Will Graham was one of the first of the fictional profilers thinking and feeling his way into the minds of the killers he pursued. Behind bars, Lecter was a charged, but compelling, presence--an enigma who promised to be a key to psychopathic crime if only someone were genius enough to understand him. Jack Crawford tried, and then Clarice Starling. Now, as if in response to those who wanted to know more, comes Hannibal, a novel which constantly threatens to bring Lecter to life through its (sometimes grisly) pages. "Dr. Hannibal Lecter's fingerprint card is a curiosity and something of a cult object": Harris is the one who knows, who has "been there", and takes his readers into Lecter's world of curious courtesy and exquisite taste, sickening cruelty and loving murder. Both Red Dragon and The Silence of the Lambs were masterpieces of plot and suspense; though complex and plotted, this is rather more "Hannibal's book": no-one who wants to know, and suffer with, Lecter--his past victims, his past life, his strange feelings for Starling--can miss this brilliant piece of mythmaking. --Vicky Lebeau
Kurzbeschreibung
Invite Hannibal Lecter into the palace of your mind and be invited into his mind palace in turn. Note the similarities in yours and his shadowed halls, the locked storerooms where you dare not go, the scrap of half-forgotten music, the muffled cries from behind a wall. In one of the most eagerly anticipated literary events of the decade, Thomas Harris takes us once again into the mind of a killer, crafting a chilling portrait of insidiously evolving evil - a tour de force of psychological suspense. Powerful, hypnotic, utterly original, 'Hannibal' is a dazzling feast of the imagination. Prepare to travel to hell and beyond as a master storyteller permanently alters the world you thought you knew.

Nach dem Film "Das Schweigen der Lämmer" wurde ich zum Fan des Doktors mit den exklusiven Eßgewohnheiten. Bzw. seiner Verkörperung durch Anthony Hopkins, der sich mit dieser Rolle wohl die Unsterblichkeit gesichert hat.
Das vorliegende Buch jedoch ist für jemanden, der die Ausnahmeerscheinung Lecters als Helden einer Geschichte akzeptiert hat (und das war ein schwieriger Prozess; darf man jemanden sympathisch finden, der außerhalb jeder Moralvorstellung lebt und ihm die Freiheit wünschen?), eine Enttäuschung. Jeder Versuch, Lecter mit einem Hintergrund, einer Gefühlswelt auszustatten und ihn obendrein zum romantischen Verehrer zu stilisieren, ihn also mit menschlichen Attributen auszustatten, zerstört im selben Maß sein übermenschliches (bzw. unmenschliches) Bild.
Kurzweilige Unterhaltung, viel Buch für's Geld, aber kein ebenbürtiger Nachfolger weder des Films noch des Buches "Silence of the Lambs".

This book is simply not in the same league as two of the author's other books, "Red Dragon" or "The Silence of the Lambs". Here, Hannibal Lecter, out flesh eating protagonist, having escaped from custody about ten years ago, is living the good life in Europe. Unbeknownst to him, however, he is being hunted down by Mason Verger, a fabulously wealthy, former patient of Dr. Lecter. Verger is also one of Lecter's victims who happened to have survived Lecter's unusual mode of attack. Left horribly disfigured by his former encounter with Lecter, Verger is very determined to hunt him down, and what he has in mind for Lecter will chill the listener. It is Verger who is truly monstrous, as the listener will discover (though with his unskilful reading, Harris gives him a run for his money).
FBI Special Agent Clarice Starling remains an integral part of the story. After heading up a drug bust that went bad, she becomes persona non grata with the FBI. Still, when the FBI gets a tip about Lecter's whereabouts, it is she to whom the FBI turns, given the unusual relationship she previously had with Dr. Lecter. This assignment, too, turns bad, as Agent Starling is being set up for a fall by members of her own agency. What ultimately happens to all the players in this story is horrific.

Considering that various authors (among them Stephen King) called this book the shocker of the year, I was vastly disappointed with the plot. Where is the suspense, the thrill you feel when your hero is hunted by the bad guys? Although Lecter may not be the all-evil man of the century, he still is a psychopathic mass-murderer, and is the reader expected to sympathise with this character? I just do not give a damn whether Hannibal is caught by the other bad guys and killed straightaway. It is only what he deserves. I would have hoped that Harris had hung on to the idea of a loose Lecter going on a murderous spree. It would have been scarier than what he provided us with now.
