Anyway, concerning Fanny in Brazil, there's nothing about it on the Festival's website or on the TV. The real pity about it is that São Paulo (where the Festival takes place) is over 2 thousand kilometer from here. Mily, you're closer to São Paulo than I am. It's very frustrating, not being able to go.
As for this post, I've been meaning to read Orhan Pamuk for a while, but haven't got round to it yet. Lisa, have you read him?
Las dos estamos bastante leeejos de la hermosa ciudad de San Pablo. Ahora que me decís, yo creo que estoy más cerca yo que vos, jeje. Yo estoy a 1600 km y tú estás a 2500 km más o menos. Asi que esto quiere decir que yo estoy mucho más cerca de la "posible venida" de la Divina que vos. Aggggg!!!!
Esta situación me ha concientizado de una posible tristeza: si Fanny viene a nuestro continente no poder ir a verla. No creo que pueda viajar en esta época del año, me matan en mi trabajo si falto o pido días de licencia ahora. aaaaa... creo que voy a lloraaaaar... Veremos veremos, me está picando el bicho del viaje...
Cualquier info que haya o noticia sobre la posible venida, te ruego Thaisita querida que me escribaaaas!
Un abrazo y estamos en contacto!
Yes, I have read Orhan Pamuk. :) But only one of his novels. He won the Nobel Prize, and I read some articles about his writing. I thought his books sounded really interesting and I read one, I think it was called "The White Castle". Fascinating. But, I don't know, it never happened that I read any other of his novels. There are so many books to read, a lifetime isn't enough... I'm going to read "Dix heures et demi du soir en été" next...
As for Pamuk, I think I read about him in Alberto Manguel's book. He mentioned "My Name Is Red", and it seemed really interesting.
[I'm reading now an anthology of fantastic short stories put together by Borges, Bioy Casares and Silvina Ocampo ("The Book of Fantasy", in English). It's just brilliant. But I'm waiting for my copy, in English, of "The Lord of the Rings" to arrive.]
"La Vida nueva", "Nieve", "Me llamo rojo", "Estambul, ciudad y recuerdos","El libro negro", "La vida nueva", "Me llamo rojo", "El castillo blanco", "Otros colores", "Nieve"...
This weekend I'll buy some of Orhan and I will tell you.
Anyway, what question and what response? I'm lost. :P
In Borges's story, the Aleph is a point in space that contains all other points. Anyone who gazes into it can see everything in the universe from every angle simultaneously, without distortion, overlapping or confusion. The story continues the theme of infinity found in several of Borges's other works, such as The Book of Sand.
As in many of Borges's short stories, the protagonist is a fictionalized version of the author. At the beginning of the story, he is mourning the recent death of a woman whom he loved, named Beatriz Viterbo, and resolves to stop by the house of her family to pay his respects. Over time, he comes to know her first cousin, Carlos Argentino Daneri, a mediocre poet with a vastly exaggerated view of his own talent who has made it his lifelong quest to write an epic poem that describes every single location on the planet in excruciatingly fine detail.
Later in the story, a business on the same street attempts to tear down Daneri's house in the course of its expansion. Daneri becomes enraged, explaining to Borges that he must keep the house in order to finish his poem, because the cellar contains an Aleph which he is using to write it. Though by now he believes Daneri to be quite insane, Borges proposes without waiting for an answer to come to the house and see the Aleph for himself.
Left alone in the darkness of the cellar, Borges begins to fear that Daneri is conspiring to kill him, and then he sees the Aleph for himself.
Though staggered by the experience of seeing the Aleph, Borges pretends to have seen nothing in order to get revenge on Daneri, whom he hates, by giving him reason to doubt his own sanity.
In a postscript to the story, Borges explains that Daneri's house was ultimately demolished, but that Daneri himself won second place in the Argentine National Prize for Literature. He also states his belief that the Aleph in Daneri's house was not the only one that exists, based on a report he has discovered by a British consul describing the Amr mosque in Cairo, within which there is said to be a stone pillar that contains the entire universe; although this Aleph cannot be seen, it is said that those who put their ear to the pillar can hear it.
"The Aleph" it's the most famous book of short stories of Borges. Surely Fanny was read this book.
Bye bye chuiks for all ardantes!
