A nightmare ... 1

Damasio is best known for The Horde Contrevent (love) and Zone from outside (not read, I LAVOUE), in which it leaves quite widely reflected his political views. It does not bother me as the story and narration stand and I bought this book with some confidence but much to say right away: this is catastrophic! Very poetic, very colorful, very everything quon wants. But surely not very catchy and even painful to read, to relax in the RER My journey would almost seemed longer!

Why so much hatred? Because the writing of Damasio is based - in this new collection of ten - on two elements: the accumulation and subjectivity. Jentends by "accumulation", the endless juxtaposition of proposals, with some nuances, repeating the same loop unrolling a simple idea of ​​overly complex way.

Once or twice, why not? But ALL THE TIME? Seriously? This nest really not possible. Not to mention the annoying trend already observed Damasio constantly play with words and phrases. It happens in Horde, it's not happening here. Too abrupt. Direct too. Not enough subtle.

What jappelle subjectivity lomniprésence this is the first person. Even WHEN IT are several people Damasio repeats what worked perfectly in the Horde Contrevent: Skip a line and that is the other person who's talking! This allows the author to describe any action through the eyes of a character and thought through its prism. This is not true for all the news, but for most of them have more. Obviously, the action is more alive, but loses in comprehension.

Difficult to describe the various texts of the collection In the Speakers, most words have been privatized and have to pay the lorsquon uses; small rebel groups play on words, links and sounds to try déchapper the system. In C @ @ ptch, delirium begins with a city bristling with sensors that dematerialize children (teleported there from the womb at the time of childbirth). In So Phare Away, Damasio presents a flagship city where people communicate by light signals, while regularly occur dasphalte tides.

Ultimately, the premise is quite brussolien. However, achieving a hermetic fishing. When we want a complex and extraordinary story, narration can not afford BE poetic and completely describe only by successive images. Dailleurs This is what happens in a final salvo descarbille where the action is in the world of the Horde Contrevent (or not far anyway); nétant not particularly attentive and mostly quite upset because of all the previous texts, I have well put 20 pages to realize that Damasio described a race. And then i could fully minfliger 40 pages nonsensical that followed the El Levir and the Book is the only news that nen not do too much and still understandable: a man should write BOOK form of a poem, doubling the size of the letters both words and changing media.

Even look like a moron, I prefer to conclude that I nai not understand this book and the endless postscript - I lai dailleurs not over - making connections between Deleuze, Nietzsche and my Damasio even cooled.
