Jacek Dehnel Saturn. Black Images in the life of men with a family Goya
Dehnel reading prose has always surprised me two things. Firstly, how is it possible that juicy, overbuilt, baroque prose of the author may impress me! Me, lover of the dynamic and simple communication. Secondly, please someone explain to me how is it possible that the writer, despite the young age, is able to create such a brilliant and mature lyrics! I bow at the waist!
"Saturn" , Author's latest book, "Lala" is primarily a text about toxic relationship between father and son. Francisco Goya and Javier Goya. The first one, a distinguished painter at the height of popularity and fame. The strong and relentless. Drunkard and a womanizer. The second, scared and silent. Inveterate reader, deserves to be called according to his father's thinking, a failure and drone. Poor, whatever, no painter. These two completely different people, but must live together under one roof. It is not easy. The differences are too large, too painful. This leads to continuous clashes in which Javier has no chance. Trying to survive. Way to survive, it appears passivity. Son agrees to without a murmur to an arranged marriage, the result will be a third Goya - Mariano. Railways, an important link of the novel. Javier's own offspring but also can not reach an agreement. Mariano is in fact a true copy of his grandfather. Liberation is to bring death, therefore, Francisco, but it is very misleading. To finally clear up the influence his father, Javier starts to paint, the second time in his life. The result is a series of so-called. black images. There is no confusion, by author "Saturn" and the latest research Images do not work Francisco! How much sorrow and evil is on the canvas!
polyphonic Dehnel book has been woven from the speeches Francisco Javier and Mariano. First-person narrative interweaves a description of the above-mentioned series black images.
"Saturn" is a peculiar study of intergenerational misunderstanding. Is a publication of disappointment, conflict, hatred and passion. But also about love, the worst variety, which can destroy and kill.
