Then
The hunched old American writers for medals and honorary doctorates, the author should loyalty teenager who once were if they had the fortune of prematurity, and not become prisoners and accomplices of the new publishing industry that dominates scammer in the world.
Before the literature half a century ago to become a profitable multinational industry writers and clerks without pay from the publishers majors, the exercise of the word was related to utopia and dreams of chivalry and those were engaged she pushed through a strange impulse of which was exempt the ambition of money, power or fame on television.
Inside the mind of the young writer of all time these authors were often suicidal, marginalized or punished by the society as Gerard de Nerval, Arthur Rimbaud, Oscar Wilde, Franz Kafka, Porfirio Barba Jacob, Malcolm Lowry or César Vallejo showed seduced by the poetry that the path chosen was the hardest possible as to the lowest paid profession as literature in general and poetry in particular were safe paths to poverty, indifference and mockery contemporaries.
Unless the writers who were fortunate or political or diplomatic career in the service of tyrants, most lived a life of deprivation that gradually plunged them into despair, marginalization and deprivation, so that their lives were similar to those of martyrs of religious saints. Many of us have known such wicked writer who modestly bowed heads at night to his lost home to find the books you love and be happy to travel the world and the most wasteful time millionaire. I think of great authors such as Paul Verlaine wise, Yasunari Kawabata, Juan Rulfo, Juan Carlos Onetti or Mafhuz Nagib.
That man travels civilizations and visit exotic places while devouring volumes with his eyes bloodshot and his quixotic passion empty stomach. At a time when rewards are awarded millions in drug dealers, prostitutes, violent, torture, informers, criminals, social climbers, ignorant and venal politicians, the literature remains marginal, but large sections of it have taken the path of corruption in the service power and money.
Many successful writers, illiterate or even write their books, they boast as stars in the book fairs in a publishing industry corrupted while being driven out of them and scratched from the lists the real guest writers. Through the editorial propaganda conveyed by the mass media they belong to English publishing houses that dominate in Latin America, geniuses invented letters, mindless thinkers, writers who have not ever made their first letters, while groups of modest editors or ghost writers are responsible for writing and putting together the books that will be the successes of the season and the center of the book fairs.
also has become fashionable scandal and Studs exhibitionism rise to fame and the authors that are uncovered, swear, have intimacies of family, hacks that seem to write sermons imprecatory full of insults and scatological cheap and shoddy ideas for a national consumer taste clinging to their whims and follies ancestral tribe.
Banished are the great authors, books written by people who have dedicated their lives to study and think rigorously and in turn sell us fourth level literature always close to self-help books or pamphlets illuminated business sects . That is now circulating literature at fairs, schools and libraries and taught in universities in Latin America and the avorazadas English publishers and their employees sold their smiling while they infect cash registers ringing.
season's book is sold as a supermarket and colorful wrapper usually lie, would have us believe that the new author is always the genius successor of the patriarch of the season turn and so discovered one or two national genius that inflated, because the pathos of marketing is that the lie not only create the scammed buyer, but the alleged author of the award semiliteracy happens to believe, in the blink of an eye, the new Homer, Conrad, Faulkner and Hemingway shift .
The young writer and the reader is fortunately much more rebellious and calibrate lucid and knows what the supply is only misleading advertising. Great literature open roads, trails traveled by unknown and "ground, before bothering to offer a product that feeds the fanatical ideas of the moment.
why the adolescent reader is one who can rebel against the stupidity environment manipulated from the pilot centers of multinational publishers in the world today and particularly those who decide among English chorizo \u200b\u200bbelches of the degree of genius literature in his subjects colonies. Spain, as I said the peacemaker cruel to the poor Spaniard Pablo Morillo neogranadino Caldas wise before his execution, "no need of wise men."
Then
English scammers Perez is back with its colonial geniuses Reverte and steamed each year and leave us to continue the legacy of American Rubén Darío, Huidobro, Vallejo, Neruda, Felisberto Hernandez, Borges, Rulfo, Carpentier, Lezama, García Márquez, Cortázar, Onetti and Peace, among many others. We do not need English publishers through trickery we manufacture our elves shopkeepers Sunday at its offices in Madrid or Barcelona. Let them go with their corrupt and infamous business elsewhere.
