UNA LECTURA HINDÚ DE LOS CUENTOS DE VILA-MATAS

IMG_0340-2Se ha publicado en New Dehli una antología de los relatos de Vila-Matas  (traducción de Margaret Jull-Costa) y entre las notas críticas que han aparecido se encuentra la publicada por Vivek Tejuja [Speaking Tiger International Fiction] : “Vampire in Love” is a collection of stories that are mostly absurd but also fantastical and profound. It takes a lot of time to get into this collection, but once you do, it will have you by your throat and not let go. Vila-Matas creates a world within each story that can be books in itself but it is best when it isn’t. When the stories leave you wanting more and you don’t get it. The stories are a ​matter of fact and to the point, so don’t be alarmed if your imagination isn’t soaring boundless. The thing to remember is the craft and the emotion each story will generate (because that it will). From empathizing with an effeminate barber who falls in love with an innocent choirboy to a lonely ophthalmologist, Vila-Matas’ characters are regular people and yet they aren’t. “Vampire in Love” is a collection which isn’t for all and yet I would urge you to read it, only to test your boundaries as a reader.
