ISBN strikes again! Anyone who still special The doubts unpublished Hemingway is the confirmation that the publishing house run by Massimo Coppola is one of the most important Italian literary industry today. What is nonfiction, fiction or poetry, there is never bored, even laugh, reflect, we remain fascinated by the suggestion created by the work of the highest level. The
unpublished Hemingway, for example, is a wonderful prose that slips melted away like a cool ice cream on a hot summer day. The smoothness of the narrative and the use of a popular lexicon (without being vulgar) are characteristics that the author, David Belbin, it certainly brings back the past in fiction lucky to boys (successful works as The manufacturers of fog and Elegy), set aside for the victorious landing literature for adults. Not fully inserted in the harsh world of adults are actually faced with a work "in between", which keeps an eye on the privileged adolescence from which the main character, Mark Trace, comes gradually and almost unconsciously, gradually reaching the ' empowerment work, the first sexual adventure and the ability to deceive others. All this, however, unable to assume the status of regular life according to the canons of bourgeois morality, even while keeping intact the capacity to be guided by its largest dream of becoming a writer. A short novel of formation, which unravels from poor provincial journals, meetings with emancipated women and girls are a beginner, budding writers and former editors of doubt happened homosexuals. But above all, their triumph: the classics of the twentieth century, those great authors who are not yet historical closeness as they should be studied by universities, and the size of which is the subject of dispute among critics of dubious reliability.
Mark dreams of becoming one of them, but his talent seems to consist solely in being able to perfectly imitate the style of various authors. Perhaps in time be able to find a personal style and to achieve international fame, but in the meantime, for various reasons obtained through indirect praise short stories masquerading as the works of authors like Hemingway and Greene. Without spoilers too we merely note the author's skill in being able to blend a prose agile, fresh and youthful with a series of reflections of considerable thickness: in fact, impossible not to recognize the original core of the work: that literature imitates the literature, or rather the literature that tells of an imitator of the literature of others. It travels between Calvino and Borges in short, maintaining a rate of more concrete than the first thickness and less philosophical (or if you want: more conversational) than the latter.
So if I was not clear enough, this is matter of the highest quality.
