Brand New Proxies December 2009

The epic drinking water

Her Gynaecologist recommended him to me. Ironic: the best urologist in New York is French. Dr Jean Claude Vigneron: BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. So I made one.

time ago when I was much younger, I read all the books that John Irving had published to date. After the reading marathon, I was left with the impression that Two pair and The epic drinking water were quite loose two novels of the author and subject also quite similar, about marital problems and adaptation to adult life, big girls with big breasts and the city of Vienna as a lost paradise that never existed. The years have brought me to reread these two novels and a very different opinion about them, Two pair seemed even more sluggish in its first reading but The epic water drinker is revealed to me as a truly novel unforgettable.

One of the triumphs of Irving as a novelist is his perfect mastery of more complex narrative structures. His novels are fragmentary, jumping back and forth in time, with characters that come and go and whose real face is not going to reveal until late in the plot. And despite all this are easy reading, the reader is never going to lose in the tangle of argument because the path is well defined. In The epic water drinker, this way of telling the story is central to the story, because the reality of the protagonist is going to be revealed gradually as we know their past and current reality, what you has led to the state it is and why he left all that was left by the wayside. The protagonist is a man of exemplary life very little, but the novel exudes an atmosphere of tenderness, understanding and empathy so great that there is no choice but to end up feeling sympathy for him.

A less talented writer might finishing pink falling into melodrama, but John Irving has a style and a narrative voice so personal and at times so extreme that they prevent him from falling into easy labels. The result is a novel that everyone can read with pleasure, a great book to reach all audiences and a good book for experienced readers who want to start reading in English.

Injectables For Unexplained Infertility

1Q84 John Irving, Haruki Murakami


The last work of Haruki Murakami, 1Q84, is a trilogy that is apparently sweeping sales in Japan. The English version has not yet been released, much less English, but for those things in life that can not be explained yes they have already been translated into Dutch first two books, and the third will be released in the spring of 2011.

However unlikely it may seem, after reading the first book I have the impression that Murakami has wanted to write this trilogy the Japanese version of Men Who Hate Women seasoned with a dreamlike reinterpretation 1984 George Orwell. Alternating chapters are the stories of two characters (naming the title of each chapter the character concerned, so that the reader is not lost): I have, a math teacher and writer in his spare time, and Aomame, fitness instructor and murderess on request. The story is surprisingly linear and rational might almost say, and the few strange phenomena are displayed with an extensive explanation of how strange it is these phenomena. The trilogy seems they have been specifically designed with the aim of positioning in the market for best sellers.

Anyway, I have my serious doubts about whether the reader of best sellers will not be supremely bored with this work, the things that really happen in this first installment of the trilogy can be summarized in a couple of lines. The book is rather a large introductory prologue of the situation and characters, it unfolds with a huge slowness not at all devoid of charm, but do not think he'll engage readers accustomed to other works of rapid consumption. This omnivorous reading the book you think of elegant and entertaining, but an unbearable lightness due perhaps to the author's effort to offer readers a work which is not necessary to sink his teeth because he is ready to be swallowed.

Someone told me recently that when I discuss a book, it's like go down to the sand and the book was a lion I have to beat and kill, or give up and let me devour. This time the fighting has stopped temporarily in tables, but waiting for a second round must take the lion best teeth if you want to kneel in these meats readers.

Rooselvelt Field Mall

Infinite Jest, David Foster Wallace (II)


American writer Jonathan Franzen said in a recent interview that he likes to read stories to tell you things about himself, things he knows are true but had not yet been able to express. And that's why they feel much less alone reading a good book electronically connected to other people who react with a "like" your previous message. After reading this book I have to give any reason, Infinite Jest has been a compelling and absorbing read that has managed to provide companionship and comfort when he was a distinct lack of them.

The joke that says the title is a rather macabre joke, the innate cruelty of any relationship between human beings is based primarily on to hurt others, either actively or through sheer laziness, with malice or with an excess of kindness , not to provide the care they need or drown in an excess of attention. Suffer if we are related and suffer if we are alone, and all the means we use to mitigate that suffering (alcohol, drugs, entertainment, sports, hobbies) will end up losing their power and placing us in a hell worse than the one they tried to flee . All this tells David Foster Wallace without bitterness, without moralizing, without a shred of self-pity: things are as are for everyone, and there is nothing to do with it. The author talks about the worst human misery with distance and detachment of one who has lived all their own meats and has lost all hope of redemption is not pessimism, is resigned to the inevitable.

Finally I managed to finish the book before the book ends with me. But it was just barely.
