lisaelizabhet's review against another edition
5.0
Un día Inger Christensen se levantó y dijo haré un libro que lo nombre absolutamente todo y cambie vidas. El origen del universo y la vida y del individuo y la sociedad y sus deseos, caminos, miedos. Creación, simulación, amor, soledad, texto, palabras. Eso. Yo no sé cómo pudo. Pensé que no me iba a gustar tanto porque otra vez se evidencia su particular método de escritura, pero se podría decir que aprendí a dejarme encantar. Y es que nadie lo hace ni lo hará como ella. Sharon Olds tiene estos versitos en Satán dice: “los poemas/ colgaban pesados como furtiva caza de/ mis manos”. Y mientras leía “Eso” se me vino a la mente la imagen de Inger como una cazadora que pone las trampas y se lleva los poemas al hombro sin ningún esfuerzo. El verdadero qué mujer.

Blev simpelthen hægtet af efter prologen, hvilket gjorde den til en virkelig langsommelig sag at læse. Sjovt med Inger Christensen, hun var en af de første jeg læste, hvor jeg bare følte mig så fucking ens. Men ja, måske om nogle år og jeg bliver gammel og grå, så vil jeg få nemmere ved at forstå det. Det hele.

Inger Christensen writes:
In this context it is interesting to note that every activity carried out within the bounds of reason is in reality unreasonable, because it either comes to a dead end or is worked out automatically, with no disorder. Whereas the completely unreasonable activity is in reality reasonable, because it ends in a vision and automatically creates disorder in all our memories (in all our minds). So when a demonstrator in his cell learns that he is there to have his reason restored, that demonstrator must be advised to ask for a large quantity of paper. When he begins to write on it, he must choose his words with care, so that his writings are markedly strange and beautiful. If this succeeds and the writings are censored, he will immediately be released. For the guards on all shifts have orders that whenever possible they are to perceive as reasonable everything strange and beautiful, as long as it is written on a large quantity of paper. They are not evil. They just cannot see that there is anything to wonder at.
