El tamaño sí importa
Luego de ver la extensísima película The Dark Knight un comentarista de Paper Cuts, David Kelly, no pudo evitarse preguntar -como muchos lo hicimos- ¿no se pudo hacer más corta? Sin duda, hay libros que hubiéramos querido que sean más cortos pero otros que hubiéramos querido que duren mucho más. Estas son algunas de las opiniones que recogió Kelly en el blog sobre libros que debieron durar más:
But are there good or great novels you think could have been longer, or should have been longer? That’s not so easy. One colleague voted for “Atonement.” Another editor here said, “When I finished ‘Middlemarch,’ I was sorry it was over.” A friend who teaches English at Rutgers had a bunch of suggestions: “Great Expectations,” “Goodbye, Columbus,” “A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man,” “When We Were Orphans,” Endo’s “Deep River” and “Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress” (“It easily could have been twice as long”). Another friend — not an editor and not a professor; i.e., a normal person — immediately nominated “Kaaterskill Falls.”
I’d come up with some nominees myself, but this post is already too long.
