VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA

Les dejo aqui(link en el título) el review de Groucho de la película de Woody Allen. También una cita con la cuual coincido plenamente "there’s one of the most interesting love triangles I have seen outside of a porno movie"

Por cierto, ya tengo en mis mando el libro de H.Thompson "Fear and loathing in las vegas" y estoy muy contento pq además trae el artículo sobre el Kentucky Derby, que hice a Thompson muy famoso con su Gonzo Journalism.

Así que ya les contaré.

También leí el "Pulp" de Bukowski. Que diversión!! Es de los más menospreciados de sus libros, pero me pareció divertidísimo.

Les dejo un review de un lector (amazon).


"Written as he was fighting the illness that would kill him, this is Bukowski's farewell to his readers. As he said elsewhere of his hero Céline, "they ripped his guts out and he made them laugh". And this is what he proceeds to to in Pulp. Portraying himself as a blundering, idiotic detective, he pokes the ultimate fun at his own work as a writer. He hasn't even begun to solve any of the mysteries of life and yet he is about to die a meaningless death (in the allegory, the lease on his office is expiring), surrounded by even worse clowns and failures than he is. Personifications of his earlier selves are also there (the gambling addict mailman, see Post Office) and he resolutely thrashes them in the most poignant self-critique you'll ever find anywhere. Believe it or not, this book is a sublime act of bravery in the face of insurmountable odds "

    Gracias por el vínculo como siempre! y felicidades por tu decisión de leer "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", es una delicia enigmática, mi parte favorita es una que tiene que ver con neumáticos sobreinflados, qué cosa más impresionante, que lo disfrutes todo.
