A collection of texts by the poet Arnaldo entrerriano Calveyra where light and water flow between a trip to Uruguay and criticism of the "disciples" of Gombrowicz.
The essays collected by Arnaldo Calveyra in Mozart's The White Horse come to ratify the editorial consistency that holds the exquisite catalog equilateral Beast. The titles of the texts that compose it can recognize that we are faced with a neat collection (and not before a series): the apparent heterogeneity does not prevent him crawl on a principle of organization of material (based on constant themes) that dissolves the arbitrary chronological order. And that's why the book is likely doomed to deploy a retroactive influence on the surly work whose author describes as a work "learning of silence" and whose value has not yet been argued with probity.
Written mostly in France, where the poet entrerriano lives since the mid-'60s, and unpublished in book, the essays gathered here may well be read as an extension of two basic metaphors attending a certain tropes traceable settings on experience poetic calveyriana: light and water. Water recurrent topic of this poetry that grows in the distance, through names, uses floats and states: a river (Bièvre) is another (Uruguay), and that river is still present and "buried, as the banks of the literature "that lost the remnants of broken memory of a district boundary, a shadow of a poem light fade amphibious Rezé streets open fan charged by the Loire and Sèvre; is the Paraná River, the Seine and Rio de La Plata, but also sea, rain, dew, mist and stream, and ink stain that extends over the blotter.
metaphors of light, for its part, us to think the text as a particular tried variations on the theme. Rhetoric of light and can be read in the image of Mozart trapped in a game of mirrors between the floor of the theater (not written) and the theater of the word in his letters, with a look through the invisible denaturing daily (the miracle Secret of artificial light in a street kiosk Mazarine), extends in a guessed entretien infini and lived (talking is listening) from the window of a hotel in Kyoto, and is projected to dream of a meeting with Antonio Madrid Machado, in something reminiscent of Borges and Lugones threshold The maker (and still is split into the "story" that from a light blindness, Borges gives away to oblivion of Entre Rios). The metaphor of light is a catalyst for the senses. Allows the poet to own these "details" ("those places where no one comes), these discoveries which incorporates the constellation of experiences so. The light has the outpouring of a nightmare in the Park Güell and the chaos of images from a trip by bus from Colonia to Montevideo, while linking the ubiquity of light hic et nunc in the images of Lafarge, "the light stolen sea \u200b\u200b"in the suburbs Mordzinski drafted by" the exultation of light "in the landscape of Saint-Nazaire port, sky light that is clears the ball of cloth into a wasteland of province, and the distant voice of the teacher explaining the liturgy of the "order Tempered or sit at the piano to play a Beethoven sonata for" shed a light on the walls of this darkness called music "or that transmigrated to the voice of the poet, traces the basic features of this community is the classroom impossible. Moreover, although not always characterized by brightness, also responds to this condition the oblique gaze poured over certain literary experiences as Pedro Páramo (read as a poem written on the basis of elements of Noh theater), The Mahabharata (in the hallucinatory imagination Peter Brook), the curiosity of Montaigne (Narciso founder of modern literature that interrogates the promise Kafkaesque saved in the legend of El Dorado), notes on the endless game that involves "writing" in the texts of "the last days "Leiris (not stop referring to his own ghost) or the dilemma of translation in the light of stuttering occurred between the words of the poet and the Laure Bataillon, the translator stubborn in their fight against the language Drowsiness .)
rigorous exercise in a decadent delicacy poetic prose, which is less important rightly reasoned articulation of the idea that the experience of language that is done in reverse Search the pretext Calveyra proposes a script filled with a brilliance that mitigates the irrelevance of certain passages, certain scenes, memories and confessions that are more responsive to the demands of the imagination of the poet who desire to "be involved, this perfectly where meaning falters there for and function of something that was not. " To mention a subtle invective on The Invention of Morel, a scathing critique of the "disciples" of Gombrowicz under Fischerman film, and a less ironic that chicanero dedicated lines to the "realism" and the "nationalization of the literature" encouraged since 1945, writing "eclipse" from a generic condition "marginal" and since the inauguration of the "occasional" as a place of truth, the book is made from a drive outside the libido of the controversy. The phrasing that at times takes the liberty of Latin syntax rigorous returns the test at the outskirts of the poem and tied to senseless passion is to write and keep writing in "early disappointment of the page." Prose, "a touchstone of the poem, and makes possible the return of the" suspended time "that characterizes the poetic calveyriana, where only" the rhythm carries the meaning. " It is in those phrases where it occurs, the final wish is impossible (and therefore necessary) Archaeology of light, the experience of the nuances, the twinkle fugitive words that record, a chisel, as in the Alexandrian "Light province "Mastronardi or an inch of canvas painted by Cézanne, the intensity of literary truth.
