Jacob’s Room by Virginia Woolf.

“Jacob’s Room was published in 1922, Woolf’s third novel.  Jacob is usually thought to represent Woolf’s brother, Thoby, who died at the age of 25 in 1906.  The story follows Jacob from his childhood in Cornwall through his education at Cambridge, his life in London, a trip to Greece, and finally his death in World War I. Betty Flanders, his mother, is a widow. Jacob’s brother, Archer, will also fight in the war. Other characters are the Reverend Andrew Floyd, who proposes to Betty and is turned down. Captain Barfoot, a man with a disabled wife, is a friend and frequent visitor of Betty’s. At Cambridge, Timothy Durrant is a friend; his sister, Clara, is an ongoing character who is attracted to Jacob, but the relationship never develops. Richard Bonamy is a Cambridge friend who becomes a closer friend in London. Florinda is a loose and sexy interlude. Nick Branham is an artist who introduces Jacob to his model, Fanny Elmer, who falls in love with him. Jacob visits friends in Paris, then goes on to Greece where he falls in love with a married woman, Sandra Wentworth Williams. In the last chapter, Richard and Betty are in Jacob’s room, going through his things; thus we know that Jacob is dead.  Many critics have noted that Jacob seems to move like a ghost through the book, that the emphasis is on the impossibility of knowing anyone. At the last, we may feel that even though we know the sequence and some moment by moment events of Jacob’s life, we never know him — we see his life as if the moments had already evaporated — as if he were already dead.” ( From this site )

Nunoe K.Girl Sinkokraul . Filippo Loro-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fifteen poems written by an eighteen year old in love with a woman distant in a language not his own, laced with remnants of the spam that picks up pieces of hard disk redistributing them randomly in who knows how many mailboxes. Here is what are the poems of Nunoe Kei, the pursuit of nonsense to find a meaning, a sense of indecency in remoteness
But what it is the feeling if the protagonist of a novel (which the author works, writing and rewriting, for over two years) finds a publisher and the novel doesn’t find? A little ‘discomfort, but not much. Because the object of love Nunoe, which gives the title to the collection, is also the object of that author. And vice versa. So the fiction stops immediately, and becomes a fake of the fake.

Quindici poesie scritte da una diciottenne innamorata di una donna lontana in una lingua non sua, cucite con scampoli di quella spam che preleva pezzi di hard disk ridistribuendoli a caso in chissà quante caselle di posta. Ecco cosa sono le poesie di Nunoe Kei, l’inseguimento del non sense per trovare un senso, un senso nell’indecenza della lontananza.
Ma cosa si prova se la protagonista di un romanzo (a cui l’autore lavora, scrivendo e riscrivendo, da oltre due anni) trova un editore e il romanzo no? Un po’ di fastidio, ma non più di tanto. Perché l’oggetto dell’amore di Nunoe, che dà il titolo alla raccolta, è anche l’oggetto dell’amore di quell’autore. E viceversa. Così la finzione si ferma subito, e il fake diventa un falso fake.

Sull’autore.

Attualmente copywriter e direttore creativo, è stato insegnante, pubblicista e sceneggiatore di documentari storici (trasmessi da RAI e canali satellitari italiani e stranieri); ha pubblicato racconti on line (fra cui Sacripante!, Anonima Scrittori, Malicuvata Casa Lettrice) e off line, su antologie (fra cui minimum fax, Freaks Edizioni, Comma 22) e riviste (fra cui Pythagoras, Toilet, Sud). Ama i bonsai.
Mah. Forse si potrebbe ridurre a: “ Copywriter e direttore creativo, ama i bonsai”.

 

Il testo è un pirotecnico, incredibile mash-up poetico. Sperimentale, labirintico, richiede attenzione, dedizione e anche la  voglia di lasciarsi ipnotizzare. Abbadono e lettura. Con musica adatta.  Come questa, giusto un suggerimento

 

 

 

 

Prufrock. T.S Eliot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, commonly known as Prufrock, is a poem by T. S. Eliot, begun in February 1910 and published in June 1915. Considered a sort of a “drama of literary anguish,” very actual and interesting,  it is written in the form of a stream of consciousness and is the beginning of Eliot’s career as an influential poet. Here,is presented  with original images and video link. Another fragment of our  Eliot Project, edited by Paul Hessel.

Decina. Silloge poetica d’impegno civile

Nunzio Festa è un critico attento, un giornalista, un operatore culturale, un generoso “segnalatore di valore”. Non c’è realtà di narrativa, di poesia o saggistica che gli sfugga, che non senta il bisogno di segnalare, di portare a una maggiore diffusione. Ma Nunzio è soprattutto poeta e scrittore. Con un sguardo politico. Forte. Che non viene mai a mancare. In questa breve raccolta poetica, che  non sarà la prima, spero e credo, per Errant Editions, si tratta di una breve silloge di  poesie in italiano, ma che riescono a rompere i confini. Esondano. Sono state lette dai co-fondatori francesi rimasti molto colpiti, in questo “ideale gemellaggio” Marsiglia- Matera che non stupisce affatto. Le  poesie verranno probabilmente tradotte nel corso del 2012. Nel frattempo siamo lieti di  proporle, scaricabili qui

Nunzio Festa is editor, journalist, ,  event organizer, literary critic.   But Nunzio is primarily a poet and writer. With a strong  political. concern,  never missing. In this short collection of poems, which will not be the first one, we hope and believe, for Errant Editions, in this ten poems in Italian, he arrives to the soul and skin of the reader. This poems were read by the co-founders of Errant , Paul and Coralie, who were very impressed and felt his sensibility very near: in the near future these poems are likely to be translated,perhaps in the first half of 2012. In the meantime we are pleased to offer them , available here
