“…[capitalism] works because it’s based on the truth about people’s selfishness, and [Communism] doesn’t because it’s based on a fairy tale about people’s brotherhood. It’s such a crazy fairy tale they’ve got to take people and put them in Siberia in order to get them to believe it.”

"Tristeţea disciplinată a stoicismului, asta este ceea ce rămâne după ce trece totul. Aici intervine răcirea.Căci, atâta timp cât există flacără, totul în viaţă este extrem de intens, iar apoi, încet-încet, totul se stinge şi pe urmă intervine răcirea, şi pe urmă vine cenuşa.
Şi ce uluitoare, ce nobilă pricepere! Căci nimic nu te pregăteşte mai puţin pentru bătrâneţe decât o viaţă trăită viguros." -pag.119

Me siento muy cómodo con esta obra de Roth. No he tenido esos momentos sublimes que te golpean y te agitan. Pero es una lectura que me está atrapando, narrativamente es muy buena. La construcción de los personajes es exquisita, lo mejor de la obra.

Empezamos con Roth, llevaba tiempo con ganas de leerle. Se que es la segunda parte de una trilogía. Pero me interesaba este sobremanera.

La política es la gran generalizadora—me dijo Leo—, y la literatura la gran particularizadora [...] En tanto que artista, el matiz es tu tarea. Tu tarea no consiste en simplificar. Aun cuando decidieras escribir de la manera más sencilla, a lo Hemingway, la tarea sigue siendo la de aportar el matiz, elucidar la complicación, denotar la contradicción.

Eso es lo que queda cuando todo ha pasado, la tristeza disciplinada del estoicismo. Esto es el enfriamiento. Durante tanto tiempo es tal el calor, todo en la vida es tan intenso... y entonces, gradualmente, el calor se reduce, llega el enfriamiento y luego las cenizas. El hombre que me enseñó a boxear con un libro ha vuelto para demostrarme cómo puedes boxear con la vejez.

The second instalment of the Zuckerman trilogy lets us behind the curtain of 1940-50s America, where -after the conclusion of WW2 - McCarthyism is just starting to rear its ugly head. Once again we are invited to consider how politics shapes the fate of a larger than life Newark inhabitant.
So far?Extraordinary. Every sentence stretched to the seams with beauty and meaning. Roth’s eye is a needle and this is art!

Ursachen und Wirkungen. Ira zerstört, krank körperlich und psychisch, tierisch wütend und nach Rache strebend. Die Rache ist raffiniert: dieselbe "Waffe" benutzen, nur die Wahrheit statt Verleumdnungen sagen. Eve ist öffentl. zerstört. Rutscht in d. Trinksucht ab. Sylphid verlässt mit 30 endlich d. Mutter, um in Frankreich für Vatters Geld (ihre Erbe) zu leben.

Und wieder erzählt Nathan Zuckermann die amerikanische Chronik. Nach Jahren seinen 90-jährigen Englischlehrer Murrey Ringold getroffen, dessen Bruder -Ira Ringold- er bewundert hat. Ira Ringold- Schulabbrecher, der nicht mal lesen und schreiben konnte, der sich durchs Leben bis zum Radiostar von "frei und tapfer" durchgeboxt hat; der den Weg von einem Apolitischen bis zum überzeugten Kommunisten gegangen ist.

I'm enjoying it but, like most Roth books, boy is it dense
Solid walls of text with long, often convoluted and semi-repetitious sentences mean often having to read twice to fully comprehend.
It's really bloody good though. And not as depressing as American Pastoral (so far)

چقدر در این روزها به این کتاب نیاز داشتم که یادم بیندازد آزادیخواهان و دگراندیشان از قرنها پیش از ما بودهاند، در تاریکترین اوضاع ناامید نشدند و به هر جان کندنی که بود زندگی کردند؛ الان وقت پا پس کشیدن نیست.

Sì, avrebbe dovuto separarsi lui. Ma non lo fece. Perché? Insomma, Nathan, non so cosa rispondere. Chiedi a chiunque perché commette un tragico errore. Non ti saprà rispondere.

Next time someone’s asking me too many questions I’m gonna hit them with “what are you, the House Un-American Activities Committee?”

Interesante siempre que leo a Roth pero con menos brillantez que otras obras.
No obstante a Roth le exijo más que a otros , es lo que ocurre con los grandes

Por ahora Roth no se corta en hacer apología del comunismo en los años 50 en una Norteamérica anticomunista.
Aunque realmente Roth nunca se andó con rodeos en ninguno de sus escritos

"Life can't be impugned for any failure to trivialize people. You have to
take your hat off to life for the techniques at its disposal to strip a man of his
significance and empty him totally of his pride."

Non occorre una visione evoluta della vita per amare il potere. Non occorre una visione evoluta della vita per andare al potere. Una visione evoluta della vita può, anzi, essere il peggiore impedimento, mentre non avere una visione evoluta può essere il più splendido vantaggio.
