I happen to read less and less. Lately I'm having a hard time to put hand to the pile of books to read (or finish reading). Phases. I reserve to do so as soon as put into place a little 'things, I tell myself. I am also aware that it is classifiable as a pitiful excuse.
However (I love this junction) the time to read newspapers (only on Saturday and the insert of the Tuttolibri Sole24ore Sunday) I find it, it will also come under that, both at the weekend which allows, at least here, to be ready to read (but not always ...) with a little 'more calm.
This week a strange thing happens. Saturday morning I go out at dawn (coming back from a rather long journey by car) in the rain, the newspaper added. I put in the printing machine.
Afternoon having to find a text for the daughter of a friend of mine, within a well-stocked library in the center. The text is not ("it's out of print, sir," he said with mock disappointment an order from the very busy). On the other hand, I found on the last bench of Bolaño: Third Reich. Wow. Taken at face value.
I'm finishing reading amulet (of which I gave a copy to a friend days ago). As read so far, not denied Bolaño: writing itself full of irony, are happy narrative, in two words: authentic Goduria.
In the evening, I reach for Print. I open the main page and find a review on Voltolini Third Reich. Bingo! (Well, those are the things I like the trigger involuntary, unconscious).
Yesterday, Sunday, same story for Sole24. Open the insert an episode analysis Salis. It was real glory? may condense. Apart from the unfortunate layout, the piece lingers easy ascent to Olympus on the analysis of literature (note the capitals) inquiring about the nature of publishing phenomenon. Combining Wallace and Bolaño. Shoulder two other measures of Joy and recovery.
Moral: Bolaño's talking intensely. A wrong or right. But the fact is that attention to this writer is condensed in the bar, above, a reader (I guess "strong") American hearing request, a library, something new came out of Bolaño? (Probably unaware that he died in the meantime).
PS. In one of these articles in the Sun, I can not remember which, one fears that determine success of Bolaño (alas, as I said, posthumously) and the exceptional talent of his agent (that Andrew Wylie). Now, taking it for good, and for other writers the same (but also other agents) are not left with our hands, reduce the substance of an agent of a successful write, I find, frankly, a rather simplistic.
