“En primer lugar, no había anticipado algo que salta a la vista tras la primera pub
“En primer lugar, no había anticipado algo que salta a la vista tras la primera publicación, pero que nunca se puede pronosticar: que uno jamás escribe una novela para recordarla, sino para olvidarse de ella, cosa que ahora me resultaba evidente. En cuanto el libro se imprimió, empecé a olvidarlo, empecé a desear ese olvido, ya no quería que la gente me hablara o me preguntara por él. Tan sólo quería que me dejaran en paz y no abrir más la boca. Y, a pesar de ello, ansiaba desesperadamente que lo que había escrito tuviera éxito. Anhelaba verlo alcanzar una posición de orgullosa estima y honor. Quería, en pocas palabras, ser un hombre famoso y a la vez quería seguir llevando una existencia oscura y discreta, y que nadie me hablara de mi fama ni de mi éxito."⠀ ⠀ "In the first place, I had not anticipated something that is obvious after the first publication, but that can never be predicted: that one never writes a novel to remember it, but to forget about it, which was now evident to me. As soon as the book was printed, I began to forget it, I began to wish that oblivion, I no longer wanted people to talk to me or ask me about it. I just wanted to be left alone and not open my mouth any more. And yet he desperately wanted what he had written to succeed. I longed to see him achieve a position of proud esteem and honor. I wanted, in short, to be a famous man and at the same time I wanted to continue leading a dark and discreet existence, and that no one would tell me about my fame or my success."⠀ ⠀ Thomas Wolfe⠀ Historia de una novela / Story of a novel⠀ & Michael Reeder @reederone (artist)⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #portraitpainting #contemporaryartist #contemporarypainting #contemporarypainter #contemporarypaintings #contemporary_art #contemporarypainters #contemporaryfigurativeart #modernart #modernpainting #artgallery #contemporaryartgallery #figurativeart #figurativepainting #figurativeportrait #undergroundart #urbanart #vagabondwho #marcopolorules #michaelreeder https://www.instagram.com/p/CTWgGlkD-t6/?utm_medium=tumblr -- source link
