S i had to relate to an image printing I have made the front pages of "The Crying of Lot 49" say it's like riding a roller coaster is visceral and it is impossible to freeze experience as it happens. Personally I hate those rails all bent and twisted, my body can not manage.
Firstly, because I never considered exciting to do with my gut what a player does with his dice before rolling over and be paid in advance. I am not amused. The pressure on the floor, the world tour with an intensity of nine on the Richter scale, the vomit with a festival of abstractions and colors. However, it suits me to describe the journey of Oedipa Maas in Pynchon; opinion perhaps still premature, but it definitely encourages me to progress in reading.
Pynchon The language used is uninhibited, devoid of filters and therefore is a proposal that is not stale despite having been written in 1965 and published next year by Lippincott & Co. Conspiracy or hoax, Oedipa begins his journey with a lack of interest then becomes clear that during the course of the narrative curiosity and intrigue .
input I am interested in the literary language of the sixties. The voices that dominate the new American literature are those of the postmodern. Formed in the fifties and even in the aftermath of the Second War unhealed and new military conflicts such as Korea and the looming presence in Vietnam, there are voices harsh willing to talk about topics rarely visited by the general fully public and distant from the Victorian themes and nineteenth-century novel. Kurt Vonnegut Jr., John Barth, Truman Capote, Bel Kaufman, Richard Yates and a 29-year-old Pynchon, among others.
However, the tone often has a strong sense of irony and sarcasm. There is no interest in these authors to participate in the dominant moral or provide a message of reconciliation in his writings. Non-conformism is a speech if you will. It was a generation that was fortunate enough to be "politically incorrect" without even coining the term. Pynchon gives this novel aspects of pop culture, makes clear allusions to the Beatles and LSD mentions and will of many scientists to experiment with patients (many in their right mind) that prevailed in those years. Pynchon makes fun of all this deliberately. We know that self-censorship is the only possible death of the writer.
D iGames that when I finish reading a book a "je ne sais quoi" forces me to write something, a kind of urgency that should replace failing to verbalize someone immediately. I think that caused tingling reading and going to fade soon.
While writing about the latest novel by Martin Kohan, it was late and reading had to go to the kitchen and look for the light the oven or microwave, I took the big book of Borges and I went to the only light as possible and sought the page 451 and read "The Circular Ruins" and focused on the end: "With relief, with humiliation, with terror, he understood that he too was an illusion, that someone else was dreaming him." ***

H and read so much about backlight T. Pynchon in recent days that a logical consequence would be to turn to read. Yesterday I did a search on Piglia and say to Pynchon: chasing me. On the other hand what to expect from Google? is like asking a dog that you remove a rule of thumb.
I see his name painted on shirts, on billboards, in cartons of cigarettes that I have and have not smoked. Two or three blogs I am the "regulars" agreed to address the phenomenon Pynchon in particular, as I said, his novel published in 2006 consisting of 1085 pages.
I leave the place where I am and rush the passage, a vague need to come over my house. I remember having some of Pynchon on some shelf. Within minutes I with "The Crying of Lot 49", his second novel, 1966, with fewer pages, which he spent his days forgotten in a purgatory of waiting for a verdict further reading on my part ...
" Y ou Have to hand over your personal privacy to Be part of the 21st. Century" ... and to get in touch with friends, get a job, find love, sex (even if it's Recreational Salander as puts it) So I'ma Facebook now, guess They won. How I use it is my personal little victory ...
ay H a sentence of Robert McKee (Story ) that I love. I have to go look because I retained the feeling instead of words, weird right? I remember well the effect of reading it, to recover a statement, a habit that was taken for lost.
After reviewing the text, highlighted by a sharp greenish yellow, I discovered that the sentences were two, a couple of pieces not far from each other. The first aphoristic, philosophically accurate. The second focused on the job, with a strong aphoristic: resolute, which allows the combination of words (without waste) adhere to the walls of our own consciousness and is difficult, once read, discard them.
Copy the first. The other will be for a film critic chasing me (I have to get me overhead) and I definitely see the need to write: "We (as viewers or readers) Do Not wish to escape life But to find life, to use Our Minds in fresh, experimental Ways, to flex Our emotions to enjoy, to learn, to add depth to Our Days "
L as interviews with writers could be considered a genre apart. The Paris Review has made them so: post material that stands on its own. The Believer, a magazine published by Eggers in McSweeny, gathered in a book titled twenty-one interviews and "Book of writers talking to writers." A step further in this genre plausible because it confronts two people who make writing their life. Jonathan Lethem interview with Paul Auster, Zadie Smith does the same with Ian McEwan, Gary Zebrun challenges to Edmund White. With these pairs is minimal waste. It is unclear whether pay more attention to the question or the answer. That reflection is constant the Sundance Channel's Iconoclast series (Although there were a confluence of disciplines). When dialogue is so much more intimate, unless the secrecy take possession of them and hide in codes insurmountable. Once I witnessed an exchange between two principals at the end of a projection: Steven Soderbergh asked Woody Allen's Match Point who just finished showing on the big screen.
But back to the interview as reading material, particularly in cultural supplements. When a writer publishes almost "Mandatory" that makes you an interview, you have to promote the book and though some authors show some allergy to these meetings are part of the logistics of publishing, a sort of lesser evil that is attached to be made public and that is ultimately useless and end up accepting and valuing. These symposia are printed documents that will be the subject of biographers and scholars. One does not read interviews to explain the novel you're buying or already bought and have not had time to read. The guest takes us to a figure that usually is dissolved in the voices of others; figures whenever possible, try to stay in complete privacy. Read an interview is for me to understand the humanity behind the author, his poetry, his repetition of certain topics.
is interesting to discover that an author like Mary, who just celebrated 40 years of his first novel, is vulnerable to the issues that impatient to every writer and every prospect of writer "Always I have many insecurities. One of the things that irritated if I do take 40 years growing this business, not in this profession because I have never seen as a profession, I have not won anything in security, you should have some confidence in my resources. And no, I have never. "
Six questions later, he reiterated his position before the novel: " The novels do not provide answers, as has been said a thousand times. I said many times that Faulkner quote that said that what makes literature makes a poor match when the lights in the middle of the night in the middle of a field. There used to illuminate anything, only serves to see a little better how Darkness around it. The literature shows how shadow zone is ... "
