I had the opportunity to read a delicious little booklet, published by Editorial Navona, entitled Leer in the toilet. Signed by Henry Miller, is an unpublished text is translated the bounty into Spanish, and said, Enrique De Hériz.
Behind a title suggestive the bounty and provocative, as transgressive as befits Miller, there is a view that leads us to contemplate the act of reading in a different way. The work was composed in 1952 and this situation is impossible to ignore. Firstly, because it leads to enjoyment freed tensions. Has already spent a lot of time and, therefore, we are sorry little psychologically engaged as distant. the bounty On the other hand, because it is doubly curious. It's fun, yet also allows us to consider if we are honest readers, adrift on some issues that have taken these over sixty years.
The booklet touches many topics, each more exciting. From the way to confront the consideration of both sexes and marriage probably more interested in what Miller: books, literary genres, the most read, the publication.
Basically, the author uses the text as a pretext. A wrapper that entertains a lot of stir customs of the society of the time and questioning them and criticize them with a masterful acidity, what Miller is intended to establish a canon. And at the same time to question (who does not like things) the existing canon. The fine pen tries to do it without being noticed much. Or maybe not. Who knows. Not in vain provocation is everywhere.
In any case, the booklet provides a very nice time. It helps to remember, once again, why we call bluestocking. the bounty The reason, and without remedy, we are sick of literature. And this, as you can imagine, it is superb.
