Book Fair: Book money IF NO

Book Fair: Book money IF NO

By Pablo Odhe

It was another book fair, money flowing to people with money. Of course, by Saint-John Perse not ask (Nobel 1960), little poetry, bad poetry, bad literature for sale, conceding that what is sold there is literature.

Rich kids to share their sadness of Palermo and vacuous existential circumstances, internal career Letters of the University of Buenos Aires, no lack of crime in the country, these are the subjects of bestsellers. A lot of garbage, a lot of marketing, few classics, do not even attend a bookseller and book nobody knows.

Clear example of this commercialization of culture is the happy presence of Mario Vargas Llosa, who comes to defend international spurious interests on behalf of himself. Hard-working and many are the faces of this figure: first, the neoliberal Mr winning smile, on the other, the progressive freethinker, humanist, accusing finger of tyranny, the defender moved by equal and finally, the narrator. Successful and effective explosive combination, all sides of this figure have a utility: money.

But it is also possible to talk of literature and tell us a story, and there we will enjoy it. In the event that you and sociological politician not to give a high profile in the rest of Latin America did not experience the wonder of Peronism and its progress.

In Argentina we had a Peronist the likes of Jorge Luis Borges, who never took advantage of their political views, no money, is more, suffered, appointed Inspector of Poultry and Corrales by government officials, none so far for the Nobel, labeled fascist and other aberrations.

Borges, unlike Mario, who comes from the "socialism", belonged to an anarchist training and participated actively in the Vanguards and movements of Argentina, to him we owe a universal culture, he would have to thank translations of Faulkner. In 1936, the only writer who criticized Nazism was Borges, this phrase is his, "never make out the difference between a Jew and a German."

If we are to provide for an opposition writer, who is Mario Jorge and not as it is ours and experienced the events firsthand. Don Alfredo Zitarrosa hear their greeting Ten Tenths of the Argentine people, "decency and ignorance / the people are his love / no causes are better / to buy another room."

In "Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter" in addition to the depravity, this is the issue of anti-Argentine. The writer has an obsession, hate the Argentine thoroughly. You guessed it: the novel is Vargas Llosa, and this book makes clear his contempt for all of us. How, I wonder, can understand Peronism a rich Peruvian neoliberal also hate the Argentinians?

Remember Cesar Vallejo?, A poet who died in Paris downpour, was also in Peru, but shabby and dark-haired, this is not invited to any show, not lucky enough to put some hope in him: he was poor.
