La Fuga re-invented (Journal Intolerencia-Cultura-22/11/07)

Good readers

Reading, listening to music, riding a play or a movie is a profession because, as Nabokov says in his European Literature Course (Ediciones B, 1987) who came to teach at Wellesley and Cornell: In reading, we look at the details, pet . Same sentence applies to writing a book or a dash of theater, music composition and direction of a film, not least of all the elements that form each discipline just to create a whole. But none of this would be worthwhile without an audience to which impact, need for interaction.
- Nabokov
During its course, made a small survey consists of ten points which students choose four to form the definition of a reader, here points:
-
1. Must belong to a book club.
2. Be identified with the hero or heroine.
3. Should focus on the socio-economic.
4. Should prefer a story with action and dialogue to one without them.
5. He must have seen the novel on film.
6. Embryo must be an author.
7. You must have imagination.
8. You must have memory.
9. You must have a dictionary.
10. Must have some artistic sense.
- Nabokov
that most students went through the points 2, 3 and 4. But a reader complies with paragraphs 7, 8, 9 and 10. But certainly a good reader is one who rereads books, because the act of reading consists of a complex exercise that lies in the eyes to move all the time from left to right, this according to Nabokov, depth limits our understanding the meaning of the book. Just as with friends, you need a familiarity with the book to get to understand it completely.
-
Later, speaking of two kinds of imagination that can have a reader, dixit: First, is the guy, very modest indeed, seeking emotional support is simple and purely personal nature. We feel with great intensity the situation described in the book because it reminds us of something that has happened to us or someone we know or have known. Or the reader appreciate the book mostly because it evokes a country, a landscape, a way of life that he recalls with nostalgia as part of its own past. Or, and this is what The worst that can make the reader identify with one character. The second possible imagination and Nabokov should be considered ideal, impersonal and artistic enjoyment. Must establish a harmonious balance between mind and art of the readers and the author. We must remain a little distant and enjoy this distance, passionately, with tears and trembling "of the internal texture of a particular masterpiece.
-
As Nabokov asks readers know when and where to restrain the imagination, trying to elucidate the specific world the author puts at our disposal. Insists that we have the temperament to be a combination of artistry with the scientist. The reader should have passion and patience, passion and patience artist-scientist, to enjoy literature.
-
Although the writer is advised not use writing as a method of psychological type and is projected as it is in the works, and as seems to believe Nabokov, the reader should not fall into the trap of complete identification. It is clear and I dare say that each player has one, maybe five or more books that are important in our lives, for that reason that critical Nabokov: the memory, evocation, the identification and perhaps the analogy or metaphor to make the regarding our life work. Or be the case that you, dear reader (s) has a personal library in which each book has a specific why a particular book does have the privilege of belonging and that is that as a reader, I think, we take care entering and no, the most private place passively, and troubled by demonic: the mind. And the book is perhaps the only place, despite Nabokov-where one is able to psychoanalyze, designed and to identify, serves as a friend and psychologist.
-
There are readers who prefer contemporary classics, others go for the classics, no matter what they are saying the new voices, there will be those looking for a library supplied by all voices, currents, periods and styles, and some will read only important works as aesthetic criticism for a general background, but spend more time and passion in an author, because every book he creates in the reader the feeling : this book I could have written it. Each position is valid, provided they have a reason supported. After all it is read.
