http://funes-the-memorious.blogspot.com/2008/10/on-leopard-by-giuseppe-tomasi-di.html
Thursday, October 16, 2008. By Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa. A few years back, I heard of “The Leopard”. Il Gattopardo) for the first time in a literary magazine. It was hailed as one of the greatest novels of 20. Century. Afterwards, I watched the eponymous film made by Luchino Visconti based on Lampedusa’s novel. But, it took me almost another year to lay my hands on the book. I finished reading the book only last week. Another interesting feature of the novel is its temporal. Century Sicily draws the...

Library of Babel: A Joyous Carnival
http://funes-the-memorious.blogspot.com/2008/09/joyous-carnival.html
Monday, September 15, 2008. Given my dislike for dramatic narratives—full of conspicuous coincidences, lengthy character analysis by an omniscient narrator, unholy surprises, and complex twists in the plot and subplots—it is quite astonishing that I’d end up praising “ Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands. 8221; by the renowned Brazilian author Jorge Amado. But sometimes, miracles do really happen, and even the most hackneyed theme can be suffused with subtle magic to take you by pleasant surprise. Another man...

Library of Babel: Life: A User's Manual by Georges Perec : A Diabolic Creation
http://funes-the-memorious.blogspot.com/2008/09/life-users-manual-by-georges-perec.html
Sunday, September 14, 2008. Life: A User's Manual. By Georges Perec : A Diabolic Creation. Seldom you come across a book which is so magnificent in its scope, so disarmingly rich in style and variation, that after finishing it, you feel quite numb and dull. And later, when you try to reflect on the book, you are desperately short of words and expressions. Common examples include James Joyce’s “Ulysses”. Or Dostoyevsky’s “Brothers Karamazov”. And Valery Larbaud’s Barnabooth. Such tongue-in-cheek reference...

Thursday, September 18, 2008. A Brief Note on Jean Genet's The Thief's Journal. Few days back I was reading . 8220; The Thief’s Journal. 160;by Jean Genet. 8212;the vagabond, the impostor, the male prostitute, and yes, the . 160;(as proclaimed by Jean Paul Sartre), in short, the most rebellious voice in French literature. Without passing any judgment. It is a difficult task, but Genet performs it flawlessly, leaving his readers agape in a curious limbo of amorality. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Library of Babel: On the Erotic Elements in The Story of the Eye
http://funes-the-memorious.blogspot.com/2008/09/on-story-of-eye.html
Tuesday, September 16, 2008. On the Erotic Elements in The Story of the Eye. 8217;s infamous book “ The Story of the Eye. Always poses before me a difficult question—what is the difference between pornography and a normal work of fiction suffused with sexual elements? Or, to be more precise, should we call this book pornographic? Like any pornographic narrative, “The Story of the Eye”. Roland Barthes, in his essay “Metaphor of the Eye”. 1962), rightfully says— . He further argues that instead of working ...
