Scriitorul se teme cel mai mult de insuficiena voinei. ntotdeauna a fost ngrozit de un succes de mna a doua. Un succes a fost faptul c n Frana i-au fost publicate romane dificile“, ntr-un context literar i istoric defavorabil. (…) Breban triete cu luciditate abisal; vis estetic“. Urmeaz, aadar, i nu contrazice autonomia esteticului. Omul i cultura sunt artificioase, nu naturale. El crede c, n esen, literatura nu s-a schimbat niciodat de la Homer ncoace.“ (Marian Victor Buciu) Un romancier pentru o generaie a literaturii. Nici un prozator romn nu a trit, dup 1960, o evoluie att de rapid. Succesul fulgertor al lui Nicolae Breban nu poate i nici nu trebuie s fie judecat independent de momentul 1965 al literaturii tinere. O generaie de povestitori i de poei avea nevoie de un adevrat romancier pentru a-i consacra, aa cum se cuvine, strlucirea. Nu de un romancier fcut prin aglomerarea povestirilor, strlucitor pe fiecare pagin, spectaculos prin fiecare personaj al su; generaia reclam nu un autor care tie s povesteasc, ci un scriitor nzestrat cu vocaie de romancier: de adevrat constructor.“ (Cornel Ungureanu)

Parodicul nu este doar unul dintre modurile comice; el este rezultatul variatelor ncercri pe care literatura le face spre a se rennoi prin autonegare. Asumndu-i acest rol, literatura parodic are luciditatea de a-i etala mecanismul auto-producerii, analizndu-i exagerrile, dar i constitutivele convenii. Aceast ntoarcere spre literaritatea literaturii pe care mizeaz orice demers parodic este camuflat prin aparena orientare spre diferii autori, texte sau stiluri. Orice parodist este, simultan, explorator prin textele altora, dar i autorul ce-i analizeaz lucid teritoriul propriului text. Una dintre aceste dou dimensiuni poate fi dominant ntr-o parodie, oscilaiile fiind generate att de parodist, ct i de contextul estetic cruia acesta i aparine. Dac, n mod normal, principiile critice urmeaz dezvoltrii formelor literare, discursul parodic este un discurs critic contient deghizat n form literar sau un discurs literar cu finalitate critic. Vorbim de parodia studiat estetic i nu de parodia ca simpl deformare, comis din ignoran.“ O fenomenologie a parodicului din Evul Mediu, epoc modern i postmodern, aceast carte ofer i analiza parodicului n operele unor scriitori ca Urmuz, Caragiale, Crtrescu .a.

A Life Discarded: 148 Diaries Found in a Skip
￥66.22
Unique, transgressive and as funny as its subject, A Life Discarded has all the suspense of a murder mystery. Written with his characteristic warmth, respect and humour, Masters asks you to join him in celebrating an unknown and important life left on the scrap heap. A Life Discarded is a biographical detective story. In 2001, 148 tattered and mould-covered notebooks were discovered lying among broken bricks in a skip on a building site in Cambridge. Tens of thousands of pages were filled to the edges with urgent handwriting. They were a small part of an intimate, anonymous diary, starting in 1952 and ending half a century later, a few weeks before the books were thrown out. Over five years, the award-winning biographer Alexander Masters uncovers the identity and real history of their author, with an astounding final revelation. A Life Discarded is a true, shocking, poignant, often hilarious story of an ordinary life. The author of the diaries, known only as ‘I’, is the tragicomic patron saint of everyone who feels their life should have been more successful. Part thrilling detective story, part love story, part social history, A Life Discarded is also an account of two writers’ obsessions: of ‘I’s need to record every second of life and of Masters’ pursuit of this mysterious yet universal diarist.

Please Don’t Make Me Go
￥45.62
The harrowing true story of one boy’s experiences in a brutal ‘approved’ school for young offenders in ‘50s London, run by Catholic monks where violence and abuse were rife. Beaten from an early age by his abusive, father, John struggled to fit in at school where his poverty marked him out. When, aged 13, his father brought a charge against him in order to remove him from the family home, John found himself in Juvenile Court – from here he was sent to the notorious St. Vincent’s school, run by a group of Catholic Irish Brothers. Beatings and abuse were a part of daily life – both from John’s fellow pupils, but also from the brothers, all of which was overseen by the sadistic headmaster, Brother De Montfort. Tormented physically and sexually by one boy in particular, and by the Brothers in general, John quickly learnt to survive but at the cost of the loss of his childhood. Please don’t make me go, tells in heart-rending detail the day-to-day lives of John and the other boys – the beatings, the weapons fashioned from toilet chains and stones, the loneliness – but we also see the development of John’s love of reading, his growing friendship with Father Delaney and his best friend, Bernard, and his unstinting love for his mother whom he feared was suffering at the hands of his violent father. A painfully, brutally honest account, Please don’t make me go is also an example of the resilience of the human spirit as it documents how John learnt to survive and come through his ordeal.
