VS Naipaul molesto
Si creen que el único que despotrica contra el "mundillo" literario es Carlos Ruiz Zafón, están equivocados. Miren estas declaraciones del premio Nóbel, y célebre gruñón, V.S. Naipaul dichas en el Hay Festival y recogidas por The Telegraph:
“These things are unimportant and meaningless,” says Sir Vidia of the festival, attended this year by such literary heavyweights as Cherie Blair, Katherine Jenkins and Jamie Oliver. “Publishing has gone down in quality so much in recent years and the problem is that there is no literary life any more because there are quite simply no more great writers.” Sir Vidia, 75, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2001, evoked the ire of his wife, Nadira, with his comments at the party to launch Standpoint magazine at the Wallace Collection, in Marylebone. “Oh, Vidia, please shut up,” she said when she saw him talking to Mandrake. “Your big mouth has already got us into enough trouble.”
Por cosas como éstas, o peores, es que Naipaul -conocido como Nightfall por sus enemigos- cosecha libros que denuncian sus miserias humanas. Hay decenas de ellos, siendo el más conocido por supuesto el de Paul Theroux. Y me entero por The Literary Saloon que a esa bibliografía en expansión se le ha sumado un poema del también Nóbel Dereck Walcott titulado "The Mangoose" (la mangosta) y que tiene versos tan elevados como "He doesn’t like black men, but he likes black cunt”.
