Like the story begins, plain as is.. Paulo's style.. which rumbles upon my conception as too plain to attract! And when I read his biography about 3 years ago when a teacher of mine recommended him as one of great authors of contemporary age, i was led curious into browsing his biography the very day. His religious affiliations, ah if i trust my memory now, was that he was a Jew and then an orthodox Christian. This inspiration, i was not led sparked and stirred to read him up. There was no charge. More than his spirits, his writing assembles plain notes .. may be 'cause there is nothing tragical about it or him. And the charge mostly lays in tragedy or superfluous humor. And his' is mere contemplation. As for taste, maybe that is why i feel unimpressed by him. But thumbs up for his productivity and contemplation.
So, I was reading his short-stories collection, that a friend of mine gifted me. His preface was interesting. Hehe. And now, upon this short-story "Prepared for a battle but with a few doubts". The title gives that like its going to rage a war against some ideology. Something shaken violently. Starting, 'real plain'. May be 'cause its the translation, ..that is why i can't feel the music? Then well, he comes to demonstrate the presence of physicalities about him including himself. Eh, the spear he's holding.. the illustration of words made me develop its analogy to evil spirt/ or devil in "Tom & Jerry" show. Haha. The child-like comparative analysis of a child-like work? Now post-modernism? ...should i apply-?
He is like in a search for God. His quest. He seeks. He so speaks. But the wonderings to me seem to have little novelty. I do not know why are other fellows so thoroughly impressed by him. Or may be that my nature in being mesmerised and fascinated more in discovery (of authors and works) than in perusal? Haha. Or that am I prejudiced by my certain judgemental notions that I developed the very day i read his biography. Well, such notions easily come by. I have a good experience by that :v . Well, let me make one more point. That if the recommendation is what turns me off, then why would i read the authors as recommended of our course: 'Jane Austin', and 'Charles Dickens' -their atleast one more work-? And Now Thomas Hardy, is one more score of a bastard to make an impression.
Cool! you keep yours , i keep mine. Well, nothing's that can be done of anyways!
~So, now up to next of his short-story. Haha, I want to discover why i can't help liking him.
