Otra de Nicholson Baker, El antólogo

"At some point you have to set aside snobbery and what you think is culture and recognize that any random episode of Friends is better, more uplifting for the human spirit, than ninety-nine percent of the poetry or drama or fiction or history ever published. Think of that. Of course yes, Tolstoy and of course yes Keats and blah blah and yes indeed of course yes. But we are living in an age that has a tremendous richness of invention. And some of the most inventive people get no recognition at all. They got tons of money but no recognition as artists. Which is probably much healthier for them and better for their art."

Hermosa novela del autor de aquella Vox que a comienzos de los 90 causó conmoción en las huestes de Rodrigo Fresán. Gentileza, El antólogo, de Dasbald, lo recomiendo al igual que lo hace este querible gallego snob. Libro  intraducible: alguien tendría que reescribirla, pero hablando de la poesía en español.
