Paul Auster: Leviathan

I think at this point Paul Auster is the author who has more reviews in this blog. I must admit that after Trips scriptorium, I was somewhat disappointed (the first time something like this happening to me with Auster), and for a while I have not thought about returning to read. But several people, including some of the regular visitors of this blog, I had heard of Leviathan as one of the best novels of New York. And after reading it, I can only prove them right. Because again I found by Paul Auster maze and magician who captures the reader in a story where reality and fiction are mixed to a point indistinguishable. Leviathan is undoubtedly a great novel.

The start is at the same time, the end of the story. The important thing here is the central plot, characters and their relationships, and how these characters evolve over time. The book tells the life of the writer Benjamin Sachs, seen through the pen of another writer and close friend of Sachs, Peter Aaron, a sort of alter ego of the Auster. Peter is remarried to a woman named Iris, while the second Auster's wife Siri is called (it's also writer like him). These are just some examples of those games that Auster likes to entertain his readers, to constantly play with real and fictional elements in the novel.

The characters, like all Auster's novels, are perhaps the best ever. Are complex, change according to circumstances, live suffer and feel at every turn, questioning his life, and making decisions that sometimes make a 180 degrees in their life paths. Apart from Aaron and Sachs, is a fascinating character of Mary Turner, inspired by the conceptual artist Sophie Call, which is also reflected in other Auster novels. Mary is an attractive woman, dedicated photography y muy inteligente, que tendrá una influencia decisiva en las vidas de los dos protagonistas. El elenco de personajes es muy amplio, y todos están retratados con una extraordinaria viveza, hasta parecer personas reales; esta capacidad es una de las mejores bazas de Auster y uno de los atractivos principales de la novela.

Junto a la riqueza de caracteres, el autor nos habla de la importancia de la amistad, de los giros imprevistos del destino, de las casualidades o pequeños acontecimientos que generan una sucesión de hechos imprevisibles, es decir, del hecho de que nuestras vidas están tejidas de sucesos más o menos nimios que van marcando de forma inevitable nuestra trayectoria vital. Vamos tomando decisiones y descartando caminos, but almost always the luck or misfortune, which leads us to a crossroads or different. Faced with this reality, our values, our beliefs, what they believe, are our best hope of salvation. Auster's characters have a strong personality, and this is reflected in their decisions. They are survivors, and try to seek, within its capabilities, the road to self-realization, ie the path to happiness. However, many times the fatal intervention of fate can truncate this path and throw in unpredictable paths. Like life itself. I enjoyed reading

Leviathan. Is one of those books that catch and hard to drop. Is Paul Auster pure, and without doubt one of the most important books of his career. Essential for austerianos convinced, and a good way to get started for those still not known. Another great reading this summer.

BETTY SMITH: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

I am fascinated by books set in New York. Perhaps because of this one my fetish is author Paul Auster, whose works have as a backdrop this attractive city. That is one reason that led me to read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn , apart from the good reviews I had found on him. In this book, the author outlines the life of immigrants in the streets of Brooklyn in the early twentieth century, when that area was very far from the chic and trendy neighborhood that has become today, and was instead place of residence of the masses of newcomers to a world waiting hiciesen your dreams reality.

The protagonist of the book is Frances Nolan, a girl growing up in a difficult environment but expressed strength to survive outside of the ordinary. Since childhood, when many were predicting an early death because his frail and sickly, Francie proves to be a person full of life and concerns. Passionate about books, endowed with a startling imagination, what appears to turn into a vocation as a writer, and ardent lover of the school, Francie will educate struggling with a mother, Katie, who works tirelessly to get his family out, a brother he loves, Neeley, and father, Johnny, very charming but too fond of drink and without a steady job. In this family are the real forces women to endure the hardships of daily life, are the pillars of its survival, and this is demonstrated again and again throughout the history of Nolan.

Francie is as strong as a tree. For the author, the child (which might be an alter ego of her own childhood, as has been said of the book that contains a marked autobiographical) can be compared to those trees that grow in the most inhospitable proud to stand up to the heaven

"A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. Some call it the Tree of Heaven. Caiga where its seed falls, it emerges a tree struggling to reach the sky. It grows in sun-delimited tables abandoned mounds of garbage. It is the only tree that grows in the concrete. ... survive grows lush no sun, no water, even without land, apparently. We could say that is beautiful, if it were not so many of the same species. "

alongside France and Katie, are the real women characters of the novel. Endearing is the character of Aunt Sissy, a little woman conventional and battered by life, having given birth to several children who died shortly after birth. The relationship between Francie and her aunt is very special, and Sissy appears as a person full of tenderness, love and life men, and for that very much criticized in its environment, including his own family.

Betty Smith's novel, published in 1943, quickly became a best-seller. Miles de personas se vieron identificadas en los personajes de la historia. Los inmigrantes, los pobres, eran los verdaderos protagonistas. Y, junto a ellos, se ensalzaba el valor del esfuerzo y la educación como instrumentos de cambio que podían marcar el futuro de las personas. Por otro lado, la autora critica los convencionalismos sociales y la cerrazón de una sociedad que, afortunadamente, estaba empezando a cambiar gracias, entre otras cosas, a la extensión de la educación gratuita, que alcanzará a casi todas las clases sociales. Es pues un fiel retrato de la vida en la Nueva York más desfavorecida de principios del siglo pasado. De ahí su rotundo éxito nada más ser publicada.

Creo que after these words, it is clear that I recommend everyone read this book. Although his prose is not brilliant, its intent and its argument, and especially the strength of their characters, make a work more interesting. A great read for those sweltering summer afternoons that have already begun. And if they are recommended by none other than Paul Auster, who can resist?

When dreams come true

did not know that lead and five weeks without writing! June is always particularly difficult to take time, but at last I can return to this place so dearly. I have many books in the room for comment (always manages to find time to read, thank goodness): Leviathan by Paul Auster, Mirrors of Eduardo Galeano, and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn , Betty Smith. I hope to share with you in the coming days. Another

personal circumstances influenced my momentary disappearance. And is that the stress and burdens of end of course has added something that had long been waiting, and I have won (and I still stealing) much of my energy, because a dream crawl out of the ordinary. If all goes well, fingers crossed, I will be mum at the end of December. I look forward to sharing my reading with you as I can, but if you ever disappear over the account, at least you know the reason. Still I continued to the idea, because it was a dream come true, and yet we fear that it becomes a nightmare. But this time everything will go well, I have this gut feeling and I'll hold on to it with all my strength.

Well, that, back and tummy. A big hug to everyone.
