We reviewers dangerous, this is known. But if we want to be good you would say not to read the dark evil of Giuseppe Berto. Why is it dangerous to your health. Mental.
Against all the rules of syntax, the book lists: cries easily, physical obsessions of his father buried which is bad for your health, positivist point of death and hatred of the radicals, difficult relationships with producers, renal colic and medical at home, Chinese acupuncture, health homeopathic healers and magicians, father and former sergeant fascist seller failed, tips to sleep with the window open, eat pears early in the morning, "just a little 'Valerian' loss of patience, he demanded that the patient" heal yourself " Acupuncture five thousand francs, "that makes you cry you cry well," pain in the colon, disintegration of the ego, "I do not have the money to be admitted to specialist clinics for people with brains" ... and so on.
The result is similar, as some have claimed, the Joycean stream of consciousness, but also the theatrical monologue (such as certain radio cuts of the novel have confirmed).
So dear readers of this blog, you're afraid to read your own meanness that every family have suffered since then? You are afraid of women? Are you afraid of children? Death? You are rivals with your father? Do not read it, because maybe you'll fall into depression and mirrors. Or perhaps, in reading, conquer that integrity standard that makes you a man or a woman ages. But we already warn you now that, once finished reading, you will not be the same as before. You will be aware, like the morning after a nightmare and just done for the first time mentioned. Knowing, of that bad dream, just the meaning and no need to see the grimace of Naples.
THE PLOT - Giuseppe Berto, film and television writer, literary and veteran of several failures in the throes of an existential crisis stronger, he began writing this novel as a form of catharsis, self-analytical at the invitation of her psychoanalyst. The story is autobiographical, in fact, well beyond the provision of Berto to expose the facts of his life.
The protagonist, a writer, following the death of his father, who has always considered authoritarian, narrow-minded, and who alleges that he had never loved, is entering a phase of acute depression that overwhelms all her affections, and which leads to terrible forms of hysteria somatizing. The crisis seems to have its starting point when the narrator Mature the knowledge that his father is ill with cancer. This occurs during the visits which casually surgical assists (assuming, which casts doubt on psychoanalysis, there are random acts). From this time the protagonist is haunted by the thought of his dead father, that begins to have an unexpected compassion, obsessed with cancer, carnal hypostasis of the "dark evil" that increasingly threatens him. Even come to experience the terrible pain that will lead him also, in the footsteps of his father, in the operating room, where, however, he will be found only physical health of iron.
In dealing with this his evil, obscure precisely what causes so much in shape, he showed all his neuroses not only about the women who live their lives, but investigating the cause, where it will be possible.
