Review of Revulsion: Thomas Bernhard in San Salvador by Horacio Castellanos Moya – The Journal
To view it, click here. Or if I were to inform him that a certain someone such as Moya has written an amazing book such as Senselessness that brings to mind the bbernhard of a lunatic not heard of since Bernhard made his mark on him he would say, without a doubt in my mind, that these types of rantings on the page are best left to the Bernhard master of them all and for others to do something unforgettable on their own of merit and to quit copying what others have done before them.

Novelists should as much as possible avoid reading Thomas Bernhard. May 30, Rafa rated it liked it. Open Preview See a Problem? I wish I had the time to do so. Increasingly, we get the sense that Vega manages to find resentment in him for Moya as well, perhaps because he has found a way to nernhard with society instead of needing to flee; despite portraying this as a coward’s choice and one with no potential payoff, Vega seems to have a degree of shame from his choice of exile.
About Horacio Castellanos Moya. Trivia About El asco: I have read the reasoning and explanation provided by Lee Klein who has transcribed his well-worded English translation of Moya’s book and has so far not found a publisher to make it available to readers of our own language.
Yo lo recomiendo mucho.

Lydia Davis’s The End of the Story was for me her most affecting work. When he turned twenty years old he decided to move to Montreal, Canada; where he has been living, for the past eighteen years. I was once writing a paper for school and turned to ask a friend I was sitting with if it was crazy to say I believe that humans are inherently good; to which, my friend replied that well, it was the complete opposite of everything he believes, which, I get where he is coming from, but he is also a pretty big activist for animal rights and saving their habitats, which I think is a pretty good thing.
As Vega roughly tracks the time chronologically from his and Moya’s youth to his exile to his return, his descriptions and his revulsion moves from abstractions to specifics, getting increasingly funnier and deranged as the scenarios become more sharply and specifically drawn.

Alexandra rated it liked it Feb 21, For two decades he worked as editor of news agencies, magazines and newspapers in Mexico, Guatemala and his own country. This book is also an homage to modernism ala Bernhard but also Joyce with the action taking place over the space of two hours in an evening as the two get drunk and try to tnomas their earlier life.
This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. Not offended, but perplexed how this book was written over 20 years ago, yet a lot of the issues are relevant to this day.
When Max Sebald reveals his disdain for something or other I hear his particular voice and find his arguments and complaints quite captivating as well. Lealdo rated it liked it Oct 15, The voice must be our own.

The Bernhard connection is also the last lines of the book as Vega took his name as an alias back in the day as he liked him as a writer. His mother’s death, which forces him to return befnhard re-engage with them, parallels the “death” read inability to be considered a country of El Salvador; he barely seems to have ever liked mother or country, but his resentment seems to stem, much as he tries to deny it, from befnhard level of involuntary affection, a desire for them to succeed, or at least do better, despite any depth of affection.

The plot, such as it is, is meant to take place between 5 and 7 p. View all 19 comments. I guess to a degree it’s in how you choose to see the world. I would pretend to imitate the Austrian writer Thomas Bernhard, as much in his prose based on cadence and repetition as in his themes, which contain a bitter critique of Le and its culture.
Ojo, no es para nacionalistas, ni para gente sin humor, que en definitiva no lo van a entender.

It is also interesting to salvadkr that although “Thomas Bernhard” is such a miserable and disagreeable character, he occasionally has some useful cultural critiques. Indeed, it is impossible not to laugh, if only from sheer exhaustion.
You’re not paying attention. He loves football and binge drinking. Early salvadr I was a bit distracted by the obvious attempt at a Bernhardian rant, but I continued on with my reading in the spirit of some of my salvadkr vitriol and those of others I have known who have let it all out and used me as their sounding board.

El asco: Thomas Bernhard en San Salvador
I loved this short book Moya is a marmite writer I think you will either love his works like I do or hate them they tend to be grim and like this rather uneventful but full of lifeit is easy to see why the book when it came out twenty years ago but not long after the end of the civil war in El Salvador a glimpse into the abyss that was the country before told by Vega and the way he saw the peace.

Coming back to El Salvador was not a decision of free will but more an obligation imposed by his circumstances.
