Bookland: LA CAMERA DI DANTE - di Matthew Pearl - edizioni BUR narrativa - Rizzoli Editore

Ecco qui il primo libro della lista estiva. Un romanzo di 441 facciate, compresi versi e citazioni. Sulle prime ho avuto timore che Pearl incappasse nell’errore di Brown con la serie del prof. Langdon, paletti che rendevano tutte le avventure troppo uguali, ma di Brown ci sarà occasione di riparlarne. Tornando a Pearl, con questo romanzo ha fatto nuovamente centro, dopo ‘Il circolo Dante’. E’…

Have a say in what you want to pass through time

2/12/1986. Wednesday

“Grow old along with me. The best is yet to be, the last of life, for which the first was made.”  Robert Browning. This stanza from Robert Browning’s poem was included in a 1962 episode of the Twilight Zone. In my 2/12/1986 journal entry, I included  the above entry stanza and  then wrote about the Twilight Zone episode (The Trade Ins) “Old people reject “new” bodies. They prefer to live out their lives naturally.”

End of entry

Notes: 5/3/2024

When I wrote the above entry, I was 30 years old. I’m now 68. I wouldn’t trade in my body for a younger one if I could. There is a freedom of being that accompanies the realization that life is now limited that I couldn’t have known at 30. It adds urgency to the day to do it now, say it now. Have a say in what you want to pass through time after you die. That’s a major reason I’m doing my blog. It gives my adventures of youth voice and shares it with the world.

New World Conversation

I complimented his hair, saying, Wow

how do you get it to stand up like that?

And some girl got offended, saying,

Hey, that’s just black hair, what the fuck?

So I said, You mean, black peoples’ hair?

And she said, Yeah, you’re being racist!

So I said, first of all, I wasn’t talking to you.

Second of all, you’re not even black.

And third of all (turning to the guy with

the hair—asking him) Are you offended?

To which he said, Nope. So I turned back

to the offended and said, And third of all,

he’s not even offended, so shut the fuck up.

So she said, That was a microaggression.

And I said, Did you know that the word

microaggression isn’t even recognized

by spellcheck? (not true—I just found out

when I typed this poem) But I did say,

Bitch, I though I told you to shut the fuck up.

(I didn’t actually say Bitch—that would be

misogynistic, for which I have no tolerance)

But I did say, How can it be aggressive if

I meant it as a compliment, and the person

I said it to took it as a compliment? Did I

somehow offend the greater universe of

smug people with sticks up their asses?

She said, No, it made reference to race,

and as a privileged, white male, you have

no right to say anything about that.

So I said, Listen, Bitch (no, I still didn’t

say that, but I really, really wanted to)

There’s aggression, and there’s not,

and if every little thing in the world

bothers you, maybe you need to buck up

and grow a thicker skin about things,

not to mention, even the prefix ‘micro’

tells you that it’s no big thing, just like

most things in life are no big thing and

not worth getting your panties in a bunch.

So she said, What did you say?!? Are you

making reference to my gender? You think

because I look like a woman, I identify as

a woman, and must be wearing woman’s

underwear? Is that what you’re saying?!?

So I looked at her, took a deep breath,

and said, Yeah. That’s what I’m saying.

At which point her panties, I am sure,

were in a serious bunch, though I don’t

know from where that phrase originates,

so I asked her, Just wondering, are you

wearing panties? To which she said, Uh…

To which I said, Then shut the fuck up.

(this piece is a dramatic monologue, a fictional characterization

that exhibits the positions of two opposing belief systems and

does not reflect the actual beliefs or experiences of the poet)
