"Franturi din asta lume"

Posted by Claudia Moser on 9:30 AM
Jean Claude Carriere with "Details de ce monde" (Details of this world) was my guide through a sleepless night.

What does he write about? In the book above he is supposed to put down jokes, anecdotes, small funny dialogue, but in the end he turns to be so right and ironic you cannot imagine.

For example:

I avoid to look in the mirror, but the mirror insists.

Death can come at any point. We are supposed to think about this quite often. For example, when I start a new tooth paste tube I am wondering if I will be finishing it.

I'm your slave. You can make out of me everything I want.

This is my translation, from Romanian to English. I guess French is much better, maybe one day I will read the original.

All those memories that await ...

Motto

"A story is not like a road to follow … it's more like a house. You go inside and stay there for a while, wandering back and forth and settling where you like and discovering how the room and corridors relate to each other, how the world outside is altered by being viewed from these windows. And you, the visitor, the reader, are altered as well by being in this enclosed space, whether it is ample and easy or full of crooked turns, or sparsely or opulently furnished. You can go back again and again, and the house, the story, always contains more than you saw the last time. It also has a sturdy sense of itself of being built out of its own necessity, not just to shelter or beguile you."
