WRITERS and MASKS

[ADAM EVANS]

If Martin Amis is a ‘Literary Giant’, then what is Julian Barnes?
Julian Barnes is a ‘Literary Heavyweight Man Booker’.

But what about Ian McEwan? Ah, he is a ‘Literary Genius’ and Margaret Atwood is a ‘Literary Phenomenal Writer’!!


Then what the FUCK is GEORGE ORWELL? JANE AUSTEN? JAMES JOYCE? VIRGINIA WOOLF? GEORGE ELIOT? VLADIMIR NABOKOV? GUSTAVE FLAUBERT? ALBERT CAMUS?...................

 Maybe the 'LITERARY GIANT'  Martin Amis needs to be reminded of the story of 'DAVID and Goliath'...

“And meanwhile time goes about its immemorial work of making everyone look and feel like shit.”
Martin Amis,the Literary Giant in 'London Fields' predicted his future after abandoning the FOX for the JACKAL!!

I do NOT understand your point about 'Writers and Masks',but PAUL AUSTER is one of the writers who deals very often with multiple identities/masks and self-discovery. Even though I have only read the 'NEW YORK TRILOGY',Paul has earned my admiration and respect ,especially after his recent visit and lecture in our country. He has also hepled understand a bit more about women(mysterious women)... When I read about Paul's "need to get inside the reader's skin and mind and heart,and challenge that person,move that person,open their eyes to things they had ne ver thought about before", I remembered someone's words(??) about "re-inventing ourselves and our relationships with the others"!!

Paul has also written in the Trilogy that "the story is not in the words,it's in the struggle". Well,with Paul's words I think I could make it through the stuggle!!!
Thank you METAIXMIO for bringing him and thanks Paul for coming. Hope will see you again SOON...

Hello, hello, can you hear me? Hello?



I’m calling from far away. What?



You can’t hear me? Has my distance



discharged? Are you speaking from mobile



space? Press zero again? Again?



Can you hear me now?



Yes, can you please put Him  on?



What number did I call? The Sky —



this is what I was given. He’s not there?



Can I scream him a message?



It’s very urgent, tell him


I saw in my sleep he died and his son


small sobbing child who peed itself



fear-soaked all the way



up and still



not dry.



Tell Him to come and change it.



If he can’t, tell him please



his old warning ripened, that the old



man would eat him if he didn’t



eat.



It ripened. He became



a meal of age. Not in a small dreamy taverna.



In some popular dive now managed



by the mirror.

He saw the best minds of his generation destroyed by sanity,dragging themselves through an obscure argument at dawn,in search of a knowledge fix.
However, He should cut the bitterness,the cynism with his pen,like cutting flesh to feel alive. The lady Art is lying dead there under a clusterfuck of recombinatory tropes,data and endless memes.

No one could go back to yesterday, but everyone could move forward to tomorrow. Writers must wash literature off themselves. They need to be Men above all,to be human. He is Human! That is his biggest trophy. The fact that He is a fucked-up HUMAN!!

PS:Leonard Cohen,one of my favourite songwriters and poets, after celebrating his 80th birthday this September,released his new album ‘Popular Problems’. ‘Rolling Stone’ readers selected it as one of the BEST albums of 2014. However, I have chosen a vintage song that ,I think,suits your “ Zone of Interest”.
