that? A few words about Bolaño 
Notes, confused, around the 'epic Crime Novel.
Background: I have not read. I saw some smear piece on TV, now forgotten how would Branduardi "My tea is not."
Data verified. My daughter (16 old) like it. Revised streaming on some site, the entire series.
Other data, two major libraries in Rome, the eponymous book is sold out. Other data yet, (it is said, three figures are a sign ...?! O was? Three clues are a test?). Whatever it is, yesterday I spoke with Peter. Piero is a friend of mine who works in a big library here in Rome. I said, somewhat surprised that the DVD of the series (sold to aficionados around 20 euros) during the last party is sold out. Sold out.
Now, I'm rather indifferent to the fascination exercised by these issues. For a set of reasons, all slightly fuzzy. First: the author, De Cataldo is a certain magistrate, or the ex. We say that the category is not that I particularly nice, so, in the skin. (Say, the concept also shared by the other "publishing event" in Bari ... Carofiglio Messer).
I find that there is a subtle perversion of background: it is as if one is to bring work home.
an extreme, "after we ordered, we now do even money on it." I do not think elegant. But then again, so far, I'm still not even to conduct a detailed study. Epidermal feelings.
Piero instead lit a torch where the darkness reigns (but ferment thoughts) and extended what I have just sketched. What is wrong is the perception. "Cletus, they were criminals."
Eccerto. Mica charitable ladies. The violence, declined to a thousand. The perception, confirmed by Piero, is that feeds a sort of sympathy with this jumble, from the title you want to forcibly annex a value of almost epic. Novel, pompously called. Mica Chronicle. And the words have weight, in our imagination, to how they are implemented.
Already from the title, it winks. What do you say? Am I at the stake as a relic miscommunication? Romance de
that? The rational part
still not condemned, not least of all the action. We take it for a good value to all homeopathic. Exposure to violence, who knows, with the intention of the author (who was, or is, a man of law) can only be interpreted as the antidote to that is not a repetition of such atrocities. In other words, look I know you were not even born at that time. Maybe you do not have enough tools to correctly interpret the meaning of all this, but I do not want you to be heroes. I would, if anything, you understand that these are not models to follow.
Here. But it is not, at least according to Peter, and also to my daughter (do not agree are the plates of the Act) the perception is not of condemnation, perhaps with ill-concealed satisfaction.
again. On the subject. Last night, Monday, on Rai Uno aired another episode of a television series (home made) called Hunting the King Written as I could do it (with a bit presumptuous, perhaps even worse) here is told a commissioner of the acts of hunting with a powerful criminal organizations in the capital. I was surprised (who knows, in a fit of wanting to give authenticity to the whole) of language. I speak of the so-called "prime time" when it is likely that among those who are camping in front of a screen, the age is somewhat mixed.
language defines raw is an understatement. Scenes of violence, rather poorly acted (but this è un altro discorso).
Non mi sento un moralista, o forse si. Nel tramonto delle definizioni, in questo alfabeto cacofonico (in questo si, perfetto specchio delle dinamiche sociali al tempo della crisi) queste narrazioni rappresentano il punto focale pericoloso intorno al quale gira l’acquiescenza. Metabolizzare la violenza, posto che questo sia l’intento, non significa esaltarla, anche bene ridonando, intorno ai protagonisti, quell’aurea di contestualizzazione. Al contrario, iconizzarla, fissarla, tornare a riproporcela, dopo che la storia recente si è appena incaricata di metterla in soffitta, col rischio di farne un modello, va a fare leva su istinti non molto ben controllabili. E’ il trionfo, underlying, dell'ineludibilià, you see what they did? Mica why, not why, not what the fuck was around the "country" at that time (which would already be in its own way an honest attempt to make at least one record). Useless, recklessly uncover a Pandora's box, and who gives a fuck about the consequences. Cauterized not a damn thing, and tolerance that all is dangerously interpreted as endorsement. Comforted by the turnovers, and copyright. The other question
alarming, to which I do not know an answer, is because it has happened?
Really it is the result of a skilful operation of the marketing mix? (Before the TV series on Sky, then the book, now even lighters, found by chance near the cashier in a bar in Via della Magliana).
update: at the bottom of this post has triggered a debate (civilized way) with David Malays (the person whom I respect) on Facebook.
I try to bring it here, being denied with copy of David L. Malaysian Look De Cataldo's novel (incidentally, in my opinion one of the best Italian novels of recent years, a milestone) was successful long before the TV series. Already six or seven years ago had his large following of fans, born of an intense word of mouth: I remember that it hailed as - right after "Q", another moment of epiphany - the advent of an Italian novel that manages to be epic, majestic, exciting, experimental and without intimacy.

° I piaceNon più.Cletus Alfonsetti I like David, I speak of the influence (evil) of uncritical fascination that a cut can generate. I do not dispute the quality of writing. Not here. Tuesday at 8:41
° I piaceNon I like più.Davide L. Malaysians should, however, outraged because Achilles, angry and violent it is, stands on the other Greeks in the Iliad. And why condemn Shakespeare Richard III made it so fascinating, a ruthless and amoral character, giving him all the best lines in the mouth. And so on. Tuesday at 8:47
° I piaceNon I like being more • 1 personaCaricamento .... Cletus Alfonsetti David, I repeat, the effect is perverse. Also subject to any literary intent. It is not enough violence "free" in which we sail?
Tuesday at 9.13 ° I piaceNon I like più.Davide L. Malaysian Cletus, you can report cases established, verifiable, of people who have chosen to embark on criminal activities because professionally influenced by the cold or the Lebanese? Way, we are serious.
repeat in my turn, why do not you take ... even with Homer and Shakespeare?

I need to register that a professional writer who would take care to suppress criminal activity (by law) in deciding to tell it has assumed a smug tone, beyond the news. Point. With all due respect to Shakespeare, that in comparison, not uncomfortable.
Tuesday at 9.21 ° I piaceNon I like più.Davide L. A Malaysian novel is not news. Requests should be flattered that the principle of identification, otherwise it is not a novel (see Otto Ludwig, "The story stage"). What we mistakenly call "satisfaction" is the result that the principle of imm ... edesimazione work properly in the novel, we are not strangers to the events narrated, but we feel emotions. But

martedì alle 9.31 · Mi piaceNon mi piace più · 1 personaCaricamento in corso....Cletus Alfonsetti Appunto, un romanzo non è una cronaca. Fosse stata quest'ultima avrebbe ottenuto i cosidetti onori. A me pare, in tutta franchezza, un'operazione della quale, visti i tempi, non si sentiva alcun bisogno.
martedì alle 10.34 · Mi piaceNon mi piace più.Davide L. Malesi Cletus, continui a non rispondere alla domanda. Perché il principio che asserisci valere per Dandi e per il Freddo non vale per Riccardo III? Secondo il principio che sostieni, anche Shakespeare avrebbe dovuto astenersi from writing the play, because his times were far more violent and troubled times of ours. Tuesday at 10:38
° I piaceNon I like più.Cletus Alfonsetti For the reasons that I told you. I have not read Shakespeare, I'm thinking around the fact that a work (also good with literary ambitions) insist on an issue so complacent (or pleased). I wonder what its usefulness. Even before the literary point of view (where it is clear borders and to break down) just from the point of fascination which seems on the young. Tuesday at 10:54
° I piaceNon I like più.Davide L. Malays do not have to have read Shakespeare to answer the question you need to know that Richard III is a fascinating character, equipped with all the best lines of his play, and at the same time violent and amoral. As it is always the grand ... the literary anti-heroes, however. This is not complacency, you insist on using that term erroneously used to involve those who enjoys the work, so that he feels that there are no extraneous actions dell'antieroe indeed belong to us, are part of us. We are not strangers.
You assert that a writer should refrain from writing a work in which these characteristics are present, as "Crime Novel". So, by extension, states that Shakespeare should have written Richard III, nor Stevenson "Treasure Island" (where there is Long John Silver, the other villain fascinosissimo that steals the show from the protagonist). And so on. If so, I note that you would like to cancel a long history of literary censorship for reasons of self-righteous. If not, you tell me where lies the difference. Why assert that the principle apply to Dandi and the cold does not apply to Richard III and Long John Silver? O for Homer's Achilles? Show All
Tuesday at 11.06 ° I piaceNon più.Cletus Alfonsetti I like David, too, for my part, I suspect a homeopathic intent (as suggested by you): I speak of violence, not hiding it, so that Parliament can then escape. Perfect. So how are the perfect oiled mechanisms (on which i. .. Imagine the great work of literary criticism) of the narrative. The fact remains that the way to talk about it, regardless of the intent of the author, more than legitimize a doubt about the need to clarify it again. I do not think, and not trance as moralistic, that all this media exposure (TV series, novels, however, that someone like my ex is happy that children read rather than being in front of a video) is necessary. We had already given. We had left behind the deeds "memory" of Banda Magliana not feel (personally) any lack. Now a magistrate there the circular. Satellite TV, (ah, but Orwell does not work here?) Makes a hit series. The state TV that he feels to legitimize the current use (while the sun shines) and me, forgive me, began to do to get enough.
Then, everyone takes references and models in all crede.Mostra
Tuesday at 14.11 ° I piaceNon I like più.Davide L. When I say that Malaysians are doing moralism, I am referring to their statements such as:
"We had left behind the exploits of Banda Magliana not feel (personally) any lack"
steps from where your personal taste, d ... to your needs, in a context. If that novel and TV series that have happened, you see that the deeds of the characters are pleasing to the public. You, as you are concerned, did not appreciate as violent? Very well: you can not watch the series and not read the novel, or you can blame them - how are you doing - pointing out to me as violent. The fact is that violence is a basic ingredient of drama from the times of Homer, and that most of the narrative is set on the narrative of violent conflict. I sincerely hope that "Crime Novel" is to indicate a change in the way of TV drama in Italy, starting to leave behind the good feelings, Christian charity and all that crap to show an Italy ugly, greedy, full of people shit, and whores of grabbers and peasants, entrepreneurs, thieves, corrupt cops, politicians, mafia, which is in effect. How long must we wait to see the TV series really Raw, fierce, loving, devoid of hope or pity as "The Shield" or "The Wire"? To think of it, "Crime Novel" is still little, too little. We must go further. Go ahead. Want more toughness, more coraggio.Mostra all
Tuesday at 15.50 ° I piaceNon I like più.Davide L. Moreover Malays still can not answer the question, are similar. Why assert that the principle apply to Dandi and the cold does not apply to Richard III and Long John Silver? O for Homer's Achilles? Tuesday at 15:52
° I piaceNon più.Cletus Alfonsetti Why I like the first steps seem born to the time when there was no television. From a man of law, I expect far apart. But anyhow ... Of course I will refrain from seeing them, usually I'm just watching tv.
