... And nothing happens at all, there are the dreams, the dead appear alive live in them and sometimes we die.
'crushes' (Alfaguara), is the new novel by Javier Marias . Excellent on your line. Where for a particular situation now developed a whole network relatare where death, life, guilt, fear go hand in hand and where the only redeeming aspect is love or infatuation. Feel unique in the eyes of another is the only thing that can save us from death, life, guilt and fear. Perhaps therefore, only to feel for another, one is capable of anything.
Javier Marías The situation has to develop the novel, is as follows: (and now DVD please do the exercise to get in place of the protagonist, because depending on the attitude you decide to take the novel takes place or not .)
reader imagine that you go every day of the week, week after week, month after month, season after season, year after year, to breakfast at a cafe. You sit alone at a table and eat breakfast at another table away from you, every day the same breakfast as well as a man and a woman, a couple. You and they or they and you never speak or shake hands or even with a nod or a knowing look or polite, but when you have tried to go greet the couple has been together as if they would know this or not they saw. That is, the relationship is zero. There comes a time so life is tragicomic, the man who was the couple died in an unfortunate event and the woman from then on breakfast alone in the same place. Breakfast without him. The question is whether you the reader is cognizant of those things that life has the misfortune of the couple: rise from your desk and go to offer his condolences to the widow but have never spoken or even taking many mornings greeted common to his credit?
By now you probably know or suspect that you would do.
Javier Marias decided that the protagonist of the novel up and went to offer condolences and since then the novel would begin to elapse with the certainty in the pages of anything goes love as infatuation or love is the highlight of between anonymity and smack of turbulence it means to live, and it is true, therein lies some truth, but in that anything goes for love or a crush that it is optional.
why you, the reader, knowing himself as we know know whether or not into the depths of this novel, as 'crushes' is a journey of extremes such as the human race capable of the best and worst.
