Saturate literary contests in 2010 with text that was saved. So far I have found what they expected: I do not premiable. And this does not makes me sad and makes me happy. In short, it's like a double sense, because I do not know if that means that one writes trash or on the contrary, is so great that remains inaccessible even to the criteria of the notables. Therefore, the rejection produces two sentiments, as a threshold where the value of what I do is suspended and, therefore, experience is irrelevant contests and neutral.
Sensini, the character-and story Bolaño Bolaño'm not particularly partisan, but that story is very well-spent to win prizes and forget to make literature, for it has many times the same story and has been successful in various capacities at different competitions, and thus get the favor and grace of the jurors. If we want to win one of these awards, it would suffice, then write a single text and present it in slight variations of a few contests, depending on the acceptance or rejection of the jury. That is, only original text should change, he thought for a contest, and please a couple of readers that claim the ability to rescue the value of what is not. Maybe so, until we could succeed in making a fortune. Unless the original story is so bad to win any contest, and then we had not done more to prolong the failed to infinity. But it happens that we are not all about winning a contest or get a valuation or evanescent consecration by the mere fact of leaving the first or second or third or selected. What matters is producing books and publishing. In that order is impossible to edit and then write, even if the maximum of the spawn of the Beast. Also, I do not care to be editor, but sit in front of the computer and look-between lucid-how perplexed and the Beast breaks the language and takes it out in a flow of words and worlds which no body from the spine to the head stressed, to shake your entire common place, or at least leave with the vague feeling of being nothing more than a fleeting doubt the universe and sometimes not even that much or more than that: the whole truth.
is not, not, write to win a contest or to make the writing is valued by a contest. No. You must write out of sheer necessity of literary beast, and then attempting to tame or values \u200b\u200bthat can-or want. This does not mean that the issue in the literature have such a high profile as writing. As demonstrated by the counter in César Aira new life, publishing, the possibility of movement also depends on our history. Or as the prologue of The flamethrower, which is forced to defend simply posting to survive, because the writer's life depends on the issue of what does and no one should prevent you from living from their work.
Hence, it is impossible, though dispensable, at least for the Child C, do not try to resort to contests. They are one of the few options that fit to publish a book, that object auratic that still shines in our imagination as if it were only hope. It happens that it is impossible to reach the book, the Child Poverty original C, by their nature vital commoner who sets priorities within which the issue is an aristocratic taste that can only pay those who have money to spare or who decided to quit the life in order to be among the shelves of a bookstore. Because nothing can be at any price or there is no price he can afford. "Resorting to a publisher? With the shame and humiliation that is talking of a text! Not sucked! I pay as Arlt, or that if I do have some value, that someday, I want to edit it because they believe that worthwhile and without explanation or word uttered by me. See if you are handsome. And if not, is because this story does not deserve even go beyond a computer file. Because the writer is the indomitable beast of the literature and it needs time to be tamed. And that is why the actions and words of a writer are often misguided, indomitable, often misunderstood, because it encourages the Beast and then who the hell will want to publish?
Perhaps one of these days, decided to grant an award for Child C and paper publication of any of his books will be possible. Is viable, too, that someone simply decide to make an edit without any competition. It is even possible to earn some money to edit on their own some books, rarely happens, because the events presented to include editing as a prize and then not need to spend the money, if it is included - on something as trivial as editing, there are so many needs remain unmet. If that happens, we need to see to what extent there is a power of the Beast, to what extent it may or may not build and sustain a world and, therefore, find its value.
Although it is likely that none of this happens and the Beast is nothing more than babble blogista cyber or a file that will disintegrate just break the computer's hard disk. At least the latter two cases, free post and no one to ask for permission. Today, the blog and the computer files are the most self-publishing space. So that part or not of literary competitions, after all, is nothing more than a negligible experience that every writer can experiment to create history. Literature, as Borges tells us in "superstitious reader ethics" if it is fed by the Beast, can overcome any error or success attributed by others, because it will assert itself. Should say that may even exceed its publication, or non-publication as a book. And even the fact of winning or losing a competition or thousands of contests.
