Crotchet Castle

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.
Iluzoria vulpe a fericirii
￥40.79
Din nord, dup? o experien?? de dasc?l la ?coala din Ieud, Ioan Es. Pop a naufragiat prin ’88, ?n Capital? ca muncitor pe un ?antier, mai apoi, dup? ’89, ca redactor la Luceaf?rul, izbutind s?-?i transforme naufragiul ?n descoperire esen?ial?, precum eroul lui Defoe. Cu migal?, cu entuziasm, cu r?bdare, cu Vineri, Robinson a f?cut din naufragiul s?u o terapeutic? a oric?rei alien?ri, inclusiv a celei de sine ?nsu?i. Cu talent, cu intui?ie, cu imagina?ie, cu nou?zeci?tii, Ioan Es. Pop ?i-a convertit naufragiul ?ntr-o splendid? revocare dramatic-liric? a neantului zilnic, cum numai poe?ilor de tot li se poate ?nt?mpla. Ieudul f?r? ie?ire este expresia plin? de prospe?ime poetic? a cestei convertiri. Lauren?iu Ulici
Povesti minunate cu lucruri fermecate

Un demers hermeneutic grav, efectuat ?n profunzimile operei ionesciene, ?i demonstr?nd cu asupra de m?sur? c? ??n prima pies? a lui Ionesco, Engleze?te f?r? profesor, comunicarea este repetitiv? ?i alienant?. Recurenta cli?eelor limbii de lemn burgheze este efectul (cauz?) unei existen?e osificate. Alienarea ?ncepe prin a fi pa?nic? ?i sf?r?e?te ?n agresiune. La ?nceput, b?tr?nii so?i Smith se afund? ?n banalitatea comunic?rii. Tinerii so?i Martin fac la fel, potrivit psihologiei v?rstei lor. Primii au o ?n?elepciune senil?. Ultimii, o vitalitate copil?reasc?. Pe parcurs (in)comunicarea se ad?nce?te, cuvintele ??i ?ndep?rteaz? tot mai mult sensurile, p?n? la a le abandona ori livra unei anamneze enun?iative. Sensul, p?r?nd genetic absent, ??i caut? identitatea ontologic? fictiv?, ?ntr-o deriv? total?. Noile contexte generate de un astfel de tip de enun?are creeaz? spa?ii retorice ale (?n)comunic?rii, inabitual proliferante, sf?r?ind adesea, cum s-a observat, ?ntr-un joc de-a masacrul logocratic, rupt de comandamentele – instan?ele – enun??rii. Personajele rostesc replicile automat, ?ntr-un ritm tot mai accentuat“.

Poemele dense, pline de miez ale lui Andrei Fischof curg unul dup altul. Fr ostentaie. Firesc, aa cum ploaia se scurge din orbitele zeilor fr nume, aa cum iarba poate fi numit iarb numai dac este pscut, din timp in timp, de pegaii morilor tineri. nfurat n toga marelui frig, poetul refuz zgomotul, nvlmeala, furtunile agitaiilor zadarnice, optnd mereu pentru ipostaza martorului tcut, marcat de o sensibilitate atent, ochiul su, da, cel triunghiular, din frunte, nregistrnd totul, aproape totul. Poemele-peisaje contureaz o lume a sfritului ntunecat, a degenerescentei, a decadenei i pierderii reperelor. E o lume de comar, o lume nurubat n albia apocalipsei care se inventa, clipa de clipa, provocnd martorul – adunat, strns n el nsui, atent la forurile-i luntrice i la vocea creia i se supune necondiionat – s imagineze discret, evaziv, surpat n uimirea de a fi el nsui: o ans de salvare. i martorul rspunde provocrii, aa cum un copil, fiind, pe malul mrii, harponat spre orizonturile mirabile ale dorinei de a fi, deseneaz, cu un beior, pe nisip, o uria corabie fantastic...“ – Aura Christi.

Legende urbane. Saga lui Mathias Coback
￥40.79
O poezie de o stranietate izbitoare, o lume postapocaliptic cldit pe datele unui imediat nstrinat. O poezie rece, tioas, ritmat (ritmul i aduce aportul formal la respectiva stranietate) care pune n dialog un Eu bntuit de moarte, pe care o citete, o palpeaz n toate detaliile unui univers cvasimitologic pe care-l construiete tocmai pentru a o putea circumscrie. Eul acesta al lui Kemény se afl ntr-o continu stare de asediu pe care o transfer asupra cititorului ideal adoptnd de multe ori structura narativ a mitului, a povestirii legendare (...)Materia are o greutate sufocant n poemele lui Kemény, contrastnd parc cu imaginile aflate n continu micare i transformare. Un vag suprarealism care aduce oarecum, vizual, cu acele videoclipuri ale anilor ’90 trzii, care mizau, pentru a obine stranietatea, pe ocul dat de alternarea dintre accelerarea brusc a micrii i aspectul static al temei mitologice (m gndesc n special la Metallica, clipul de la Until it sleeps)Un volum excelent, un adevrat manual de poezie care sun, datorit lui Andrei Dósa, impecabil.“ – Bogdan Alexandru Stanescu
