r a i n: Simona, Mona, Si

oricine mă cunoște știe cît iubesc ploaia. în toate formele, mirosurile, gusturile și culorile ei. ploaia cea dătătoare de viață și de moarte. ploaia cea aducătoare de mine (și de tine). ploaia cea din străfundurile ființei mele. ploaia scurtă, caldă și efemeră ca o îmbrățișare. ploaia grea, care cade ca o cortină de catifea peste mine, tine, noi. prin urmare, oriunde mă duc și în orice citesc caut ploaia. oricine-mi citește blogul știe cît iubesc ploaia. ploaia există pe dealul meu cu dor la fel de puternic ca dorul. in octombrie 2010 scriam: imi e dor de o ploaie calda. imi e dor de o mine mai calda. si de una mai portocalie. da, o

Ce ne spunem cind nu ne vorbim in AltIasul meu

Continui seria recenziilor scrise de mine & care au aparut pe AltIasi cu o carte care nu mi-a placut deloc.Ce ne spunem cind nu ne vorbim Chris Simion este o tinara regizoare si scriitoare care incearca prin arta pe care o produce sa se opuna tiparelor, normelor traditionale. Citind noul ei roman Ce ne spunem cand nu ne vorbim, aparut la Editura Trei (2011), puteti decide singuri in ce masura reuseste aceasta sa scrie literatura tinara, inovatoare. Daca A.D. Miller nu m-a dezamagit pentru ca nu aveam mari asteptari de la romanul sau, nu pot spune acelasi lucru despre cartea lui Chris Simion. Pe aceasta am vazut-o prima data la televizor, vorbind despre unul dintre spectacolele jucate de compania de teatru coordonata de ea. Este vorba de D’AYA, o companie independenta de teatru ce a fost infiintata in 199

oppression

Or the woman at the checkout stand who had to tell me it was a shame I was having kids at such a young age. My two-year-old brother was with me in line holding on the colored coupons after I'd counted them. I was fourteen and not yet bleeding.

tineriada

bun, am fost în piață, mi-am strigat nemulțumirile alături de oamenii de acolo (mai ales în primele zile, cînd magazinele încă aveau vuvuzele în stoc), m-am certat cu părinții, am înjurat foarte mult, mai între dinți, mai direct, m-am simțit abuzată de o mînă de ticăloși, iar m-am certat cu părinții, am simțit cum mi se năruie întregul sistem de valori, ba chiar m-am gîndit să mă mut din țară, să caut un loc mai civilizat și mai onest. pesimistă din fire, nu am crezut nicio clipă din cele în care-am înghețat în piața unirii că dragnea o să dea înapoi.în teorie (și în discursurile agramate ale politicienilor noștri drăguți) am cîștigat, dar nu mă simt deloc învingătoare. știm cu toții că e o chestiune de timp pînă cînd prevederile din OUG 13 vor intra în parlament, sub o formă sau alta. simt doar că mi s-a dat o șansă să-mi mai hodinesc nițel picioarele. astăzi stau acasă, dar mîine știu unde mă duc!ce mă mîhnește profund e protestul pro-guvern. sînt perfect de acord ca

Make America Great [Britain] Again!

One American Dream by Bernard Beck is yet another book (on its way to becoming a bestseller) about the [futile] pursuit of living the American dream. This time the protagonists are neither African-Americans nor Latin Americans, but second and third generations of Jews coming from Poland and struggling to find success and happiness. Jacob Rubinowitz, in particular, seems to be obsessed with becoming a real American. He was only a child when his mother took him to the States and, as soon as the law allowed him to, he changed his name and became John Rubin. Still, each time he got a bit closer to finally becoming a true American, he felt he lacked authenticity: "Throughout my life I have invented, reinvented, burnished, refurbished, constructed, and reconstructed myself as often as necessary in order to achieve my ultimate goal: to be a real American". Thus this became John's obsession and it marked his entire existence and even his relationships wi

Loss

I am about to lose the funniest, most intelligent and stubborn man on the face of earth and it is a heartbreaking experience. I am proud to have been his daughter. I have learnt so many things from him. I will forever miss him.

alas!

My first experience with Elif Shafak took the form of Three Daughters of Eve (2016) and left me somewhat disappointed. It is a well written book and I could easily recognise the author's talent and her intelligent use of various narrative techniques, yet it could have been a splendid book had it not been for the few supernatural appearances, unrealistic experiences and some elements of the plot. It could have been a great book dealing with modern day problems like terrorism, religion and its place in the 21st century, feminism, Eastern and Western societies, democracy and so forth. Unfortunately, Shafak turned all these stringent problems into some sort of a classic professor-student love story. I could have happily written pages on feminism and motherhood; on how Peri evolved from a curious little girl who swore not to repeat her mother's mistakes into a brave, powerful and independent woman, wh

A humorous discovery

A humorous discovery or how I came to like Judith Ortiz Cofer's writing after reading two of her autobiographic works that didn't impress me much. A less good writer of memoirs than a storyteller, Judith Ortiz Cofer surprised me in The Line of the Sun as having a great sense of humour and a gift for storytelling: Small towns are vindictive, and when it became known that El Padrecito Cesar had been sent away to a mountain retreat for his health, a rumor began to circulate that the young priest had been caught "in flagrante" by the housekeeper, Leonarda, who had then aroused Don Gonzalo from a deep sleep. For days Leonarda was sought after by the townswomen for afternoon coffee, and even invited into the wealthier homes in town, where the old woman had never crossed the threshold except to wash floors. They interrogated her endlessly about the scandal up at the rectory, but she played the c

Nora, octombrie, eu

„Intrasem în octombrie. În parcul din fața Bibliotecii Astra, unde ieșeam să fumez, mă lăsam cotropită de culori. Era fără îndoială și asta o formă de masochism, un viol care mă pătrundea total, cred că nu simțisem pînă atunci posesia rapace a culorilor și vîrtejul acela care te absoarbe cu totul în el. Un curcubeu mi se învîrtește bezmetic în jurul capului. Fac poezie, mereu fac poezie cînd vreau să vorbesc despre viața noastră cea de toate zilele, dă-ne-o nouă astăzi.” - Nora Iuga, Hipodrom Octombrie sînt eu.

Vers 13, Judith Ortiz Cofer

Orar: To PrayAfter the hissed pleas, denunciations -the children just tucked in -perhaps her hand on his dress-shirt sleeve,brushed off, leaving a trace of cologne,impossible, it seemed, to wash offwith plain soap, he'd go, his feet lighton the gravel. In their room, she'd fallon her knees to say prayers composedto sound like praise; followingher mother's warning never to make demandsoutright from God nor a man.On the other side of the thin wall,I lay listening to the sounds I recognisedfrom an early age: knees on wood, shiftingthe pain so the floor creaked, and a woman'sconversation with the wind - that carriedher sad voice out of the open windowto me. And her words - if they did not riseto heaven, fell on my chest, where they areembedded like splinters of a crossI also carried.Women Who Love AngelsThey are thinand rarely m
