VOLPI IN AND
BLACKBERR
My very good friend Ana Pellicer told me he had just read an unpublished nouvelle Jorge Volpi in his Blackberry. Yes, a surprise to readers accustomed to meganovelas Volpi: his new job, devastated the garden, does not even need the Kindle or Sony Reader to be read, is between sixty and eighty pages, which means you can read on mobile phones and laptops.
I read it on my MacBook Pro torn In The garden themes appear expensive Volpi, related concern global policy in this case, a woman searching for her brothers during the war in Iraq - but there is also news. It is an intimate Volpi, in which narrator difficult to recognize certain aspects of his biography. There is a great female character (the bipolar Ana). The prose is also surprising: devoid of rhetoric, his sharp brevity makes the book a garden devastated nothing to stress maximum.
In Volpi blog have appeared chapters of the novel. In the first posts , Volpi explained the reason for his project: "Writing. Write back. No other novel-any novel but a blog, a combination of memory, fiction, aphorisms. An adventure that is also a negative. A writing exercise, a way of learning to write again a year after the trilogy ended In Search of Klingsor, The end of madness and will not Earth. " It is not clear if the reader comments will influence the final version. What is certain is that through the blog and the new electronic readers, the writer is more likely to interact with your readers, know your opinions, ignore them (or not). Thus, in its way, The garden is also devastated cyberliterature.
This nouvelle be published in September by Alfaguara. But before another book will Volpi, one of tests, which will publish the pages of foam.
