Free Public Masterbation

Aira JM Coetzee, beaten and bloody games


Reading César Aira I encounter a paragraph that comes in handy to refer to the grotesque pantomime devised by the kings of opportunism seudocultural: smelly Turkish aspirations patepluma poetic and playboy and accommodated, who tried to give legitimacy convincing letter to the poet and lush paradise (indeed, his acolytes remain resilient in silence settled on the participation "out-standing" from his guru in this deplorable racket, except the honorable exception of Grade Poets zero) to "contribute" as jury to whitewash the mayor coup indecency undertaken with a view to his future presidential candichatura. For more information, click here .

But please do not stop reading this excerpt from the novel by Aira, which served as a starting point for this review:

"This continued for a while. It was a meeting of dissident writers in a totalitarian state, bitter and disappointed, but creating flame still burning. They would not surrender despite everything. It happened poems, stories, novel chapters, that despite the fervor with which they were read and heard they could not hide his insecurity and provincialism. They were gray, old, much of Floral Games and desktop publishing, as if the hated regime had contaminated the melancholy bureaucracy and outdated ideology . "

César Aira, The magician , p. 81.
