rayuela 115

..."Music is losing its melody, painting is losing its anecdotal side, the novel is losing its description."...

Wong, a master at dialectical collages, summed up this passage here: "The novel that interestas us is not one that places characters in a situation, but rather one that puts the situation in the characters. By means of this the latter cease to be characters and become people. There is a kind of extrapolation through which they jump out at us, or we at them. Kafka's K. has the same name as his reader, or vice versa".

And to this must be added a rather confused onte in which Morelli was working up an episode in which he would leave the names of his characters blank, so that in each case the supposed abstraction would have to be resolved in a hypothical attribution.



...¨La musica pierde melodía, la pintura pierde anécdota, la novela pierde description. ¨...

Wong, maestro en Collages dialécticos, sumaba aquí este pasaje:

¨La novela que nos interesa no es la que va colocando los personajes en la situación, sino la deja de ser personajes para volverse personas. Hay como una extrapolatación mediante la cual ellos saltan hacia nosotros, o nostros hacia ellos. El K. de Kafka se llama como su lector, o al revés.¨

Y a esto debía agregarse una nota bastante confusa, donde Morelli tramaba un episodio en el que dejaría en blanco el nombre de los personajes, para que en cada caso esa supuesta abstracción se resolviera obligadamanete en una atribución hipotética.
