In these myths and literature, the moment, the kind of pop pre -preliminary fees, in which the world became half crazy and no longer had to die to become famous. The writer – at the famous, is understood – then he waited for a certain kind of time affected by the favorable gambling of candidates to replace him, silent hatred of his enemies and strange coexistence between the blood in the current body and the Karoling marble honors. Shortly thereafter, the writer died and it was understood that neither death nor fame was forever. Lord Byron He ceased to be Lord Byron, the new Lord Byron appeared without quoting Lord Byron, and fifty years later it wasn’t as if nothing had happened as long as a helpless and unfortunate boy in love was lost and finally found by an author who had almost no one knew.
I mean that nothing remains in the books and that offspring is a thrilling problem that will not even escape the sacred totems. And much less experimental, so alone in their fence that they are usually forgotten and plagial without the right to answer another avant -Gard when it does not cause reddish on the naivety of their approaches. If they are not called Georges Perc (Paris, 1936-Ivry-sur-Seine, 1982), of course, the assumption in which they do not come out of fashion. For both their writings and their involuntary ability to restore their community of believers between different generations.
The Perec is developed in 1982, at the age of 46, who does not give the Nobel Prize in Peru or the Pope, may be the writer of the second half of the twentieth century, which is best erased by a highly unfavorable equation that combines ambitions with endurance work. After it ages so well, if it is suitable, more than merit, with regard to the taste for the Arabeka of French culture and its own unmistakable tendency as the author to desecrate the borders. Not only with regard to other disciplines, but also its convergence with technology that the Internet era has become Quineralla.
Perec was the creation of his time, and at the time of the future, he gave a various curiosity towards everything that surrounded him, and at the same time faced the attributes that act as authentic adrenaline slips for literary rejuvenation: one of them is the will of the game playing the spirit. And more, perhaps a transcendental, extensive wave and the extent of their proposals that have even been on conflicts that would still take several decades to manifest itself, both fields of literature and in the field of advertising, applied mathematics, urbanism or art. The fact that a man with a crazy scientist and Muñidor de Crucigrames writes books in which the vowel or enumerations may seem sympathetic and undoubtedly, but becomes something else when the same texts are stored as some of the best novels of the last century. Above all – and a deadly jump comes – for not following the ingenuity of its facilities and integrating them into the usual literary cause: to discover, reason and move. With questions about basic mechanisms such as memory – consisting very present in all his work and more in “places”, its large unpublished – ultra -modern and philosophically all -power intelligence and millennia of beauty. In addition, it is believed to be elaborated by a descendant of the Jews killed in Auschwitz, to which they had to make their surname and with serious and objective difficulties to reconstruct their past.
Fifty years after his interrupted conclusion – the author, almost like a metaphor, ended imprisoned in his own axis and left the project – “places” arrive at readers in Spanish with rattling caused in France, which accredits the book not as an amendment, but also as a cycling synthesis and as accommodation of the rest of his literature. Only he would think about solving his autobiography in four books and leaving this interim title at the end, translated Pablo Martin Sánchez -Membro Ooulipo -in which the Frenchman lifted for 12 years, consisting of a year of double writing about a dozen of corners that were part of his life, first written spontaneous memory associated with space and evoked a complementary text of the description in the situation of the same space for which he used visits and designs in many cases in many cases. The approach that, faithful to its style, tried to present a mathematical model by a combination and even accompanied the deposit of each several texts in lazy envelopes.
Exactly the nuclear part of the dusted material to shape what is the first edition of “places”. Work that is a treatise on the impossibility of memory and oblivion, streets and literature; Live and alternative map of Paris of the 1970s and investigating a relationship with the environment AS objects. And in which the author also shows his most human side. Included in revealing a reason inspired by Epic: having an alibi to return to his department with Suzanne Lipinska. Who knows. In the end, these things are the same things – love and melancholy – those that raise the cities.
