Trevor Noah, Born A Crime<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Zice-se c\u0103 rasismul, ca \u0219i alcoolismul, trebuie mai \u00eent\u00e2i recunoscut \u0219i abia apoi tratat, nu invers. Recunoscut de c\u0103tre pacient \u2013 \u0219i, dac\u0103 se poate, f\u0103r\u0103 \u201esugestii\u201d binevoitoare de la al\u021bii! \u0218ti\u021bi la ce m\u0103 refer: moda politic\u0103, presiunea social\u0103, Zeitgeist-ul etc. Bref: de vrei s\u0103 nu mai fii rasist, zi mai \u00eent\u00e2i c\u0103 e\u0219ti rasist \u0219i ia-\u021bi angajamentul c-o s\u0103 te \u00eendrep\u021bi, c-o s\u0103 mergi pe drumul cel drept, c\u0103 de m\u00e2ine nu mai bei… whoops, asta-i de la cel\u0103lalt \u201eism\u201d! Hai s\u0103 r\u0103m\u00e2nem la \u0103sta, totu\u0219i.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C\u00e2nd am auzit de Born A Crime<\/em>, capodopera lui Trevor Noah, mi-am morm\u0103it \u00een barb\u0103: \u201eMda, \u00eenc-o carte cu negri… vai, s\u0103r\u0103cu\u021bii de ei… sufer\u0103… sufer\u0103 \u00een gura mare, \u00een gura foarte mare, ca s\u0103 zic a\u0219a…\u201d; dar, pentru c\u0103 sor\u0103-mea \u00eemi recomandase cartea \u00een mod deosebit de insistent (m\u0103 somase, la drept vorbind), i-am zis s\u0103 mi-o pun\u0103 \u00een bagaj, c-oi citi-o eu acas\u0103. Am deschis internetul \u0219i ce-am v\u0103zut? C\u0103 dumnealui Trevor Noah este putred de bogat (1), este de profesiune stand-up comedian (2), are site propriu (3), conturi pe Twitter, Instagram, Facebook \u0219i YouTube cu milioane de urm\u0103ritori (4, 5, 6 \u0219i 7), apari\u021bii \u00een filme \u0219i-n sitcom-uri (8 \u0219i 9), este gazd\u0103 \u0219i produc\u0103tor de show-uri TV (10 \u0219i 11)… mi s-a f\u0103cut amar \u00een cerul gurii. Dar st\u0103tea sor\u0103-mea ca hultanul. Ce era s\u0103 fac?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am citit cartea \u00eentr-o noapte \u0219i-am c\u0103zut direct pe spate. Cuv\u00e2ntul \u201ecapodoper\u0103\u201d nu mi-a venit \u00een minte (n-am eu o minte a\u0219a elegant mobilat\u0103), \u00een schimb mi-a venit mult mai prozaicul \u201eC\u00e2t?\u201d. C\u00e2t o fi v\u00e2ndut omul din cartea asta, c\u00e2te exemplare? Am aflat \u0219i m-am luat la palme, apoi am aflat \u0219i c\u00e2te audio-book-uri a v\u00e2ndut (\u00een propria lui lectur\u0103) \u2013 \u0219i m-am luat la pumni, dar cu mil\u0103 (a\u0219a dau eu c\u00e2nd dau \u00een mine). Pe urm\u0103 am stat str\u00e2mb \u0219i-am judecat drept: la o adic\u0103, de ce nu s-ar vinde bine o carte extraordinar\u0103 ca aceasta? Unde scrie c\u0103 numai abscon\u0219ii au succes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OK, ve\u021bi spune, dar de ce ne-ar interesa pe noi toate astea? Un american de culoare scrie \u0219i el un bookseller \u2013 a\u0219a, \u0219i? Nu e nici primul, nici ultimul; chiar nu au alt\u0103 treab\u0103 rom\u00e2nii dec\u00e2t s\u0103-l admire pe Nenea Trevor? Bun, iat\u0103 r\u0103spunsul meu: cartea lui Trevor Noah este aur curat pentru rom\u00e2ni, iar omul care se va aventura s-o traduc\u0103 se va umple de parale (\u00eemi pare r\u0103u c\u0103 nu voi fi eu acela, doar c\u0103 \u00een via\u021b\u0103 nu le po\u021bi avea pe toate). De ce afirm asta, din ce motiv? Sunt dou\u0103. Iat\u0103-le.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pentru c\u0103 povestea din carte este uimitor de asem\u0103n\u0103toare cu povestea fiec\u0103ruia dintre noi, nu numai a rom\u00e2nilor, dar a tuturor esticilor n\u0103scu\u021bi \u00eentre 1968 \u0219i 1979. Trevor nu e american, e sud-african \u0219i a prins, ca adolescent, c\u0103derea apartheid-ului, a\u0219a cum noi am prins ca adolescen\u021bi c\u0103derea comunismului. Mai mult: cele dou\u0103 sisteme au sem\u0103nat nu numai prin \u201ec\u0103dere\u201d, dar \u0219i prin perioada de stagnare (1979 \u2013 1989 la noi, 1984 \u2013 1994 la ei), iar asem\u0103n\u0103rile sunt at\u00e2t de \u0219ocante, pentru o minte deschis\u0103, \u00eenc\u00e2t eu mi-am petrecut noaptea de lectur\u0103 frec\u00e2ndu-m\u0103 la ochi: despre cine vorbe\u0219te Trevor, despre el sau despre mine?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nu pot spune prea multe despre firul narativ al pove\u0219tii (da, e un bildungsroman), e p\u0103cat s\u0103 stric pl\u0103cerea miilor de cititori care vor descoperi cartea \u00een traducere, dar pot s\u0103 spun doar at\u00e2t: oamenii de culoare din Africa de Sud au dorit cu ardoare c\u0103derea sistemului \u0219i au luptat pentru asta, iar dup\u0103 ce sistemul a c\u0103zut ei s-au trezit muritori de foame. Locurile lor de munc\u0103 au disp\u0103rut ca fumul: \u00een apartheid, oricine avea dreptul la munc\u0103 \u0219i la negocierea propriului salariu, dar odat\u0103 cu libertatea, noul guvern a impus salariul minim, a\u0219a c\u0103 milioane de muncitori au fost \u201edisponibiliza\u021bi\u201d. A\u0219a au \u00eenceput blestem\u0103\u021biile. Furturi. Jafuri. T\u00e2lh\u0103rii. Asasinate. R\u0103zboaie mafiote \u00een toat\u0103 regula. Trafic de orice. R\u0103piri, r\u0103scump\u0103r\u0103ri, taxe de protec\u021bie. Nici pentru albi n-a fost u\u0219or. Iar foarte mul\u021bi au p\u0103r\u0103sit \u021bara. Mie mi s-a p\u0103rut c-aduce al naibii cu tranzi\u021bia noastr\u0103, dar poate-oi fi eu nombrilist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alt lucru de seam\u0103: valoarea g\u0103\u0219tii. Tinerii boga\u021bi nu prea umbl\u0103 \u00een g\u0103\u0219ti, dar pentru adolescen\u021bii s\u0103raci ga\u0219ca tinde s\u0103 devin\u0103 acaparatoare; iar \u00een perioadele de tranzi\u021bie, de r\u0103sturnare a lumii, e \u0219i mai r\u0103u (ce autoritate mai pot avea p\u0103rin\u021bii \u0219omeri?). Adolescentul Trevor \u0219i-a dat seama, ca noi to\u021bi, de un adev\u0103r simplu: ga\u0219ca e-o condamnare pe via\u021b\u0103. Nu ga\u0219ca e a ta, tu e\u0219ti al g\u0103\u0219tii. Dac\u0103 nu pleci, dac\u0103 nu te smulgi, dac\u0103 nu rupi loialit\u0103\u021bile la timp, mai t\u00e2rziu e prea t\u00e2rziu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cei dau acum cuv\u00e2ntul lui Trevor, fiindc\u0103 a f\u0103cut bi\u0219ni\u021b\u0103 (\u201ehustling\u201d) ani lungi cu ga\u0219ca lui \u0219i \u0219tie ce spune: \u201eHustling is to work what surfing the Internet is to reading. If you add up how much you read in a year on the Internet \u2013 tweets, Facebook posts, lists \u2013 you\u2019ve read the equivalent of a shit ton of books, but in fact you\u2019ve read no books in a year. When I look back on it, that\u2019s what hustling was. It\u2019s maximal effort put into minimal gain. It\u2019s a hamster wheel. If I\u2019d put all that energy into studying I\u2019d have earned an MBA. Instead I was majoring in hustling, something no university would give me a degree for\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
