Keith Gessen ajuda a entender (um pouquinho melhor) a Rússia no excepcional “Um país terrível”

“Um país terrível: Um romance sobre a Rússia” (Todavia, tradução de Bernardo Ajzenberg e Maria Cecilia Brandi) é um dos melhores livros que tive o prazer de ler em 2023. Escrito por Keith Gessen, nascido na Rússia mas vivendo nos Estados Unidos desde a infância, o romance é o retrato de um país que parece em eterna transformação, mesmo que as mudanças sirvam para deixar as coisas no mesmo…

I left the world of jail with plenty of relief but, more than anything, with a sense of unease that I still can't quite shake.

Morgan: “The author is Masha Gessen’s brother. That’s some storied family. I don’t mean that in a snarky way. It’s impressive. The story is about a man, Andrei, who goes back to Moscow to care for his ailing grandmother. His life in New York isn’t going that great so he decides to go back to his home country. It’s also about the connection between America and Russia through the lens of one man’s story. How do you keep allegiance to your adopted country when its relationship with your home country isn’t great? The idea of ‘what is home’ is a perennial question that can never have one true answer but always births creativity. I studied in St. Petersburg for two months. People call it the Venice of Eastern Europe. It was beautiful but it was also hard to be there as a Black woman. You stand out and get stared at—it was difficult. I carried a book with me at all times so I could take my mind off people looking at me.” @_morganjerkins #ATerribleCountry #KeithGessen / @theubc for #subwaybookreview #newyork 🗽 (at Times Square 42nd St.)

Nos hacemos daño unos a otros. Atravesamos la vida cambiándonos de ropa todo el tiempo u ocultando nuestros auténticos motivos. Nos vemos tranquilamente bebemos vino rosado y luego nos hacemos la vida imposible. ¡Pero no queremos! Lo que queremos, lo que todos queremos hacer es extender las manos —cual bailarín en trance, simplemente extender las manos—, tocar a toda la gente y decirle: lo siento.Te quiero. Gracias por el e-mail. Gracias por venir a verme. Gracias. Pero no podemos. No podemos.

Todos los jóvenes tristes y literarios, Keith Gessen.

Charlotte didn’t think I was an idiot. She explained the ways in which her deployment of orcs and elves in her work differed from and even subverted the tropes of ordinary fantasy fiction. I didn’t mind discussing all this, even as I found it surreal. These were the times we were living in. I was on a college campus. I was a visiting professor. And I was sitting in my office, bearded and wise-looking and, in all seriousness, discussing orcs.

It was clear that the occupiers’ must only demand to remain where they are: our office on Wall Street. Let the other occupations make the other demands. The first occupation’s goal is to stay where it is.
