You do not must learn a ebook to criticize it | Television | EUROtoday

The journalist Marta Nebot did nicely in Xabier Fortes in TVE on Thursday, when she elevated Javier Cercas with chulería worthy of a full within the courts, accusing him of whitening the Catholic Church. In the fray, the novelist requested him if he had learn his ebook (God’s madman on the finish of the worldhis Vatican exploration about Bergoglio), and Nebot replied that no. It could appear a dislate opinion a few ebook that has not been learn, however there isn’t a different option to touch upon a ebook on tv. If one takes the difficulty to learn, then it is vitally troublesome to be categorical. Opinions are nuanced, softened, crammed with conditional clauses, of peros, with out embargoes, dilemmas, paradoxes and syllogisms, and thus it doesn’t triumph in a gathering.

Manichaean and unfair accusations will be maintained after studying a ebook, as not just a few literary critics know, however that calls for a punctuous effort: you must expose passages, take them out of context, manipulate them, make the creator say issues that he has not stated or omit important data. Because the issue of books is that even the brief ones are very lengthy, and so they say many issues, and even the unhealthy and the easy require a refutation effort far superior to that of a few zascas in a tv gathering.

Or no matter, as a result of poor fences have already accused him of bleaching so many issues that appears like a painter greater than a novelist. The proper approach if one desires to sing the 40’s to a author shortly and successfully, viralizing it, is to maintain the ebook away from his hand, corresponding to medicines and youngsters, lest he succumbs to the temptation to leaf by way of him and fill his head of complicated concepts and inconceivable to sq. in a 3 -second slogan.

To the essayist Rebecca Solnit the boys defined issues. Writers should get used to Marta Nebot and plenty of different Tertulians clarify to us the books we write. And nicely that is the case. You have to finish the satisfaction of the countless author who believes herself with the correct to debate what he has written, as an alternative of what others think about he has written.
