The truth of the lies, Mario Vargas Llosa


Collection of Articles by Vargas Llosa that allegedly discussed their favorite novels of the twentieth century, but which in reality is these works through the filter of his own views on literature and shipped at home against all who do not share ideas, which are many and varied.

There are several articles in this book quite biased content. The one dedicated to The Golden Notebook by Doris Lessing, for example, which shows how little he likes women writers and reluctantly having to acknowledge the many merits of both formal and content of this novel. Or the article on The End of the Affair by Graham Greene which concludes:

When you sit down to write [Graham Greene] lost that impetus, that vocation at risk who took a teenager to play Russian roulette, and became an efficient Scriptwriter, shy and functional, which rightly felt satisfied telling a story that did spend a happy and distracted while all classes of readers. Since then he got what he proposed as a writer, but what was proposed was always low and below his talent.

This final paragraph is based solely on their own personal prejudices Vargas Llosa, in his image too exclusive and exclusionary than it has to be the "good" literature. In The End of the Affair, Graham Greene wrote a great story, charming and memorable about the daily lives of poor people in ordinary situations and even a little silly, using concepts as unattractive as religious beliefs, miracles and faith. Say about a book so lacking in ambition is a sign of blindness or a stunning monumental bad faith.

But where Mr. Mario gives the master stroke in this volume is in his article on The Kingdom of This World by Alejo Carpentier, not coincidentally the only novel written in English that says. The absence of One Hundred Years of Solitude in this selection and is unforgivable, but apparently it was also necessary to a frontal attack on magical realism as a hallmark of Latin American narrative of the second half of the twentieth century. And it does so cryptic, writing a long article in praise of the narrative technique of Carpentier in The Kingdom of this world, work that shows the culture clash that occurred with the intent of the French colonists introduced the ideas of the Enlightenment the magical and superstitious Haitians. And after filling pages with examples of good creative way the author, in the last paragraph Vargas Llosa gives the stab of betrayal and without notice, throwing down a few lines all literary theory on which it based its work Alejo Carpentier:

In the prologue he wrote for this novel, Carpentier hoisted the banner of "magical realism" as an objective feature of American life, and mocked the European Surrealists, for whom, he said, the "wonderful" "never was but a literary trick. " The theory is nice, but false, as evidenced by his wonderful novel, where the world so seductive, magical, or mythical, or wonderful, is not an objective description of Haitian history, but the consummate wisdom of the literary tricks Cuban novelist used when writing novels.

In any case, if we abstract from the (dis) qualifications Vargas Llosa gives the works read, we find an overview of twentieth century fiction that the author presents from a deep and genuine love for literature and with an enthusiasm that is truly contagious. In short, a good book of literary criticism of a bad writer exceptional.

A book that could be called the dance of eggplant, Oscar Santos


This book is a real gift: the format and colors are beautiful, like the illustrations inside (yes, a graphic novel, as before). And when you start reading it turns out to be a reading as fun as endearing. But what a great pity that the impression given by the principle can not be maintained until the last page.

is a light and enjoyable read written in a conversational style and straightforward. A story told that written in first person by a teenager who uses his protagonist everyday language to tell the three days of celebrations of the town in which he finally managed to be nothing less than a man. The problem is that all this light is not sufficient to sustain an entire book, the bittersweet substantial principle be becoming more and more syrupy as the narrative progresses and both the story and the characters are missing body in order to achieve full work, just staying in the anecdotal account of some events.

Nevertheless, a very pleasant book to read, entertaining and well written, and by its binding and their careful typeface legible nice and make it a perfect gift for anyone. For me it has been without a doubt.

Payan 1969, Jerome Tristant


With this work of black and detective intrigue the author has written a very personal: the action is set in the city of Murcia and in the year of his birth, and even book a small cameo for his parents, who dedicated the novel. Perhaps that's why 1969 is not the first part of a series but a complete story with a beginning and an end, in addition to Jerome Tristant already has a police officer Victor Ros nineteenth starring his own series, and certainly not the poor July Alsina protagonist was a detective for more than one book.

The plot suffers from the same defect that The mystery of the house Aranda, the resolution of the plot is not the height of his approach and the author is forced to loop the loop to the end that was not out of hand the whole shebang of argument that has been composed with great skill and a great sense of narrative rhythm. This makes some storylines are resolved in a somewhat unlikely and that a number of questions remain without a satisfactory answer, but the truth is getting out of the predicament with dignity.

is in short a well-written book by an author who knows how to use with skill and accuracy records of the genre. 1969 is distinguished by its wonderful atmosphere of Spain in the last years of Franco in a provincial town, and human characters, complex and believable. A perfect book to read and then give to someone who walks in need of light reading with foundation and does not mind receiving a copy of resale. Mine is on its way to its destination.

Talk of locusts, David Foster Wallace


locust Let includes opinion articles, extensive book reviews and reports that David Foster Wallace wrote for publications as diverse as the articles themselves between 1995 and 2005 approximately. DFW was a writer and university professor, so his journalistic work may have the whiff of professional intrusion by a successful writer hired by publications who want prestigious firms within its pages. But its articles are well built and are highly entertaining and informative, although the author's mania spread in all kinds of explanations in footnotes to the page (and in notes to these notes) can be irritating to readers designed to easily lose the thread narrative. The author argues that because sometimes the editor will remove all the digressions his article, sees no reason to be limiting. And indeed it does.

DFW is one of those authors with very specific opinions on topics dealing with articles, from the porn industry in the U.S. to consumption of locusts from the literature of John Updike, Kafka and Dostoevsky, or the misuse of language. But does not claim that his personal authority is the sole provider of such views, is concerned to substantiate their claims with data, quotes from authorities on the subject and very colorful examples. And do not forget his best weapon, a perfect and absolute mastery of language, combined with an exceptional narrative talent and humor that makes their texts accessible to everyone. Read articles someone who knows what he says and that she also knows how to speak to all audiences has become an increasingly unexpected pleasure, and this book offers some truly unforgettable pages. David Foster Wallace is a writer who deserves to be read, and this seems like a good book to start with at least one who is able to disregard the horrid cover.

Experience, Martin Amis

Michimo
critic Kakutani wrote in his review in The New York Times :

Martin Amis has proven to be a writer of a huge array of literary talent: a dazzling mastery and camaleonesco language, a willingness to tackle major problems and even greater social canvas and relentless eye for unhealthy excitement of contemporary life. The only thing missing in his work, readers might have argued, it was emotional honesty, too often his writing has used a cold detachment and sardonic postmodern pyrotechnics instead of a sincere feeling.

This sincere feeling towards his father to his children, to women who loved and was abandoned (or not), to his friends and enemies, is what makes experience I liked much more than fiction I Read Martin Amis. Although the author is concerned about maintaining the type and composure, to write these pages has abandoned the pose of the coolest writer of both banks of the Thames, and his style makes a lot with that. Martin Amis says

had to wait for his father's death to write this book. Does not say, but it is clear from all that's telling, is how difficult it was to be measured for him all his life with a parent academic and writer Kingsley Amis height, a parent who also never denied pouring severe criticism on the novels of his son. Martin, however, does not hide his admiration for his father's work, which extensively quoted throughout the book, and it is possible that being able to admire as an author Kingsley will help to reconcile with the difficult person who had a father.

But out of all the anecdotal, voyeuristic and morbid offering this reading (much), the big surprise for me was to test how good a literary critic who is Amis. A writer speak good, bad or regulate their fellow workers is almost required in any autobiography. But Martin Amis knows what he's talking when he praises Nabokob, Joyce or Bellow, or criticizes with great subtlety and a huge load of poison to John Updike: da good valid arguments, and knows how to express and illustrate their arguments exemplary manner. Amis is a good writer (although I'm not so sure about that) but would have been a great literary scholar if his talent had been allowed to follow an academic career.

What Is A Good Percentage Of Muscle?

Against wind North, Daniel Glattauer


This novel is extremely entertaining, but asks a lot of the credibility of the reader, the chance is an important engine of the plot, human kindness is too. Leo and Emmi known by chance because of an incorrect email and keep writing then is almost normal and even as new as one might think (epistolary friendship and love existed in all ages). Both are so strongly opposed to a personal encounter or even a photo sharing is more difficult to believe, but falls within the possible. What is already difficult to accept is the limitless goodness of the characters. Jealousy is a sign of love and never become unhealthy or violent toward understanding the other's weaknesses and anger verging on the improbable, and no action of the characters becomes petty, inappropriate, brutal, intemperate. Cyber \u200b\u200blove Emmi and Leo in Against the north wind is Platonism never seen since the days of courtly love.

With this novel reaches its conclusion, it is not just because the story continues in Every seven waves. But this is another novel, less fun and more bitter than its predecessor but where the characters reveal more imperfect, human and fallible and so much more credible. I recommend reading both books flip or not to read any of them, because the first novel without the latter has little reason to exist except as a fairy tale for adults cyber century.
