En estas paginas autobiograficas, Pitol deja entrever la intensa relacion que ha vivido con su escritura, el descubrimiento de una forma, su ars poetica, la creacion que oscila entre la aventura y el orden, el instinto y la matematica. Su relacion con la literatura ha sido visceral, excesiva y aun salvaje: "Uno, me aventuro a decir, es los libros que ha leido, la pintura que ha conocido, la musica escuchada y olvidada, las calles recorridas. Uno es su ninez, unos cuantos amigos, algunos amores, bastantes fastidios. Uno es una suma mermada por infinitas restas." This is a mixed bag--literary criticism, personal anecdotes, travel stories, and passages on his own writing processes. He talks about Chekhov, there are essays on Evelyn Waugh and Henry James, and many others--international in scope.I really liked the material on writing short stories. "On When Enrique Conquered Ashgabat and How He Lost It" (p.204-230) is a very funny episode that took place when Pitol and Enrique Vila-Matis managed to get together in Turkmenistan. It involved crashing a wedding party, a crazy opera singer and his crazier wife, embarrassed interpreters, and Vila-Matis being rushed out of the country. This is the final volume of "Trilogía de la memoria/Trilogy of Memory" The first two are "The Art Of Flight" and "The Journey." The trilogy does not have to be read in order. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML: The heartbreaking final volume in Sergio Pitol's groundbreaking memoir-essay-fiction-hybrid Trilogy of Memory, which won him the prestigious Cervantes Prize, finds Pitol boldly and passionately weaving fiction and autobiography together to tell of his life lived through the written word as a way to stave off the advancement of a degenerative neurological condition causing him to lose the use of language. .Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
