Romanul de debut al Patriciei Lockwood, distins \u00een 2021 cu Dylan Thomas Prize<\/em> \u0219i finalist Booker Prize<\/em>, propune o compozi\u021bie original\u0103, anume o serie de \u201epost\u0103ri poetice\u201d cu caracter aforistic, \u0219i creeaz\u0103 o imagine a unei pararealit\u0103\u021bi \u00een continu\u0103 transformare. Fluxul con\u0219tiin\u021bei colective din Portal, mixat cu trimiteri la Joyce \u0219i Woolf, populat cu oameni alc\u0103tui\u021bi \u201edin online\u201d este alternat cu drama real\u0103 a surorii scriitoarei, care na\u0219te un copil cu sindromul Proteus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patricia Lockwood (n. 1982, Fort Wayne, Indiana), \u201eunul dintre cei mai incisivi observatori ai spectacolului oferit de discursul digital\u201d (The Wall Street Journal<\/em>), poet\u0103, prozatoare \u0219i eseist\u0103 american\u0103, supranumit\u0103 the poet laureate of Twitter<\/em>, s-a impus \u00een literatura american\u0103 contemporan\u0103 \u00eenc\u0103 din 2013, c\u00e2nd poemul \u201eThe Rape Joke\u201d a devenit viral, notorietatea scriitoarei fiind sporit\u0103 \u00een 2017 de memoriile Priestdaddy<\/em> (Thurber Prize for American Humour<\/em>, volum inclus pe lista celor mai bune 10 c\u0103r\u021bi ale anului 2017 de c\u0103tre The New York Times<\/em>). Un an mai t\u00e2rziu, scriitoarea public\u0103 eseul \u201eHow Do We Write Now?\u201d, aduc\u00e2nd \u00een aten\u021bie actul scrierii \u00een urma expunerii excesive la informa\u021bia de pe internet, \u00een contextul \u00een care orice vedem \u00een mediul digital ocup\u0103 spa\u021biu \u00een creierul nostru (\u201eIf I look at a phone first thing the phone becomes my brain for the day\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00cen romanul Nimeni nu vorbe\u0219te despre asta<\/em>, Lockwood abordeaz\u0103 o tehnic\u0103 pointilist\u0103, suspend\u00e2ndu-\u0219i protagonista \u201e\u00eentre ironie\/amuzament \u0219i oroare\/absurd\u201d (Marc O\u2019Connell \u2013 The Guardian<\/em>). Odat\u0103 apele desp\u0103r\u021bite, avem dou\u0103 planuri pe care se concentreaz\u0103 vocea auctorial\u0103: virtualul, care construie\u0219te din mers o supranara\u021biune ce \u00eenglobeaz\u0103 (p\u00e2n\u0103 la autofagie) toate micronara\u021biunile\/vie\u021bile utilizatorilor deveni\u021bi personaje, \u0219i realul \u2013 moartea, la \u0219ase luni \u0219i o zi, a unui bebelu\u0219 n\u0103scut cu sindromul Proteus (Boala Omului Elefant), despre a c\u0103rui speran\u021b\u0103 de via\u021b\u0103 \u201enu vorbe\u0219te nimeni\u201d, \u00eentr-un stat (Ohio) care interzice avortul: \u201eS-au umplut de groaz\u0103 auzind cele mai rele \u0219ase cuvinte din limba englez\u0103. E o nou\u0103 lege \u00een Ohio<\/em>. Legea asta declara c\u0103 e o infrac\u021biune s\u0103 provoci na\u0219terea unui copil \u00eenainte de a treizeci \u0219i doua s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2n\u0103 de sarcin\u0103, indiferent de ce nu mersese cum trebuie, indiferent c\u00e2t de mare era capul bebelu\u0219ului.\u201d Tragedia deriv\u0103 din faptul c\u0103 nu se poate face nicio excep\u021bie, pentru c\u0103 genera\u021bia p\u0103rin\u021bilor (tat\u0103l poli\u021bist) \u201eluptase toat\u0103 via\u021ba \u00eempotriva excep\u021biei\u201d, iar acum erau to\u021bi obliga\u021bi s\u0103 tr\u0103iasc\u0103 \u00een lumea pe care ei o construiser\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virtualul este \u0219i el proteic, la fel ca realul (dar la modul monstruos), regulile se schimb\u0103 \u00een c\u00e2teva zile\/ore\/minute, reperele valide azi, m\u00e2ine se spulber\u0103: \u201eEra o juc\u0103rie nou\u0103. Toat\u0103 lumea \u00ee\u0219i b\u0103tea joc de ea, dar apoi s-a zis c\u0103 e destinat\u0103 oamenilor cu autism, dup\u0103 care nimeni nu \u0219i-a mai b\u0103tut joc de ea, dar \u0219i-au b\u0103tut joc de cei care \u00ee\u0219i b\u0103tuser\u0103 joc de ea \u00eenainte. Apoi altcineva a descoperit \u00eentr-un muzeu o versiune din piatr\u0103 a juc\u0103riei, veche de un milion de ani, \u0219i asta p\u0103rea s\u0103 demonstreze ceva. Apoi a ie\u0219it la iveal\u0103 c\u0103 originea juc\u0103riei avea ceva de-a face cu Israelul \u0219i Palestina, a\u0219a c\u0103 lumea a f\u0103cut un pact s\u0103 nu mai pomeneasc\u0103 de ea niciodat\u0103. \u0218i toate astea s-au \u00eent\u00e2mplat \u00een decurs de vreo patru zile<\/em>, cam a\u0219a.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dinamica malefic\u0103 a Portalului implic\u0103 cenzur\u0103 \u00een numele political correctness<\/em>-ului sau al altor ideologii\/pozi\u021bii politice, o doz\u0103 uria\u0219\u0103 de snobism, \u201eo dictatur\u0103 a toleran\u021bei\u201d, o abolire a spontanului, o luare \u00een st\u0103p\u00e2nire a individului de c\u0103tre demonul spectacolului: \u201eViitorul inteligen\u021bei trebuia s\u0103 fie despre c\u0103utare, \u00een timp ce viitorul ignoran\u021bei trebuia s\u0103 fie despre incapacitatea de a evalua informa\u021bia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accentele satirice r\u0103zbat din multe observa\u021bii ale scriitoarei:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eCum ar fi trebuit s\u0103 scriem acum c\u00e2nd nu mai puteam s\u0103 compar\u0103m nimic cu un membru-fantom\u0103?

N-aveam s\u0103 mai spunem niciodat\u0103 despre cineva c\u0103 a \u00eenclinat capul ca o ghei\u0219\u0103<\/em>?

Nici s\u0103 suger\u0103m c\u0103 cei care fac birdwatching sunt auti\u0219ti? Nu mai puteam s\u0103 spunem c\u0103 secera lunii e costeliv\u0103 ca un om s\u0103rac<\/em>?

(…) \u201eAcum, pove\u0219tile preferate din portal erau despre prieteni interrasiali care se cuno\u0219teau \u00een timp ce jucau Scrabble online \u0219i \u00een cele din urm\u0103 se invitau unul pe cel\u0103lalt la mas\u0103 de Ziua Recuno\u0219tin\u021bei. Unul dintre ei trebuia s\u0103 fie foarte b\u0103tr\u00e2n, \u00eendeajuns de b\u0103tr\u00e2n \u00eenc\u00e2t s\u0103 se fi aflat de partea gre\u0219it\u0103 \u00een cadrul mi\u0219c\u0103rii pentru drepturile civile, iar cel\u0103lalt trebuia s\u0103 fie foarte t\u00e2n\u0103r, \u00eendeajuns de t\u00e2n\u0103r \u00eenc\u00e2t s\u0103-i semene fa\u021ba cu un bec nou-nou\u021b. Trebuia ca fiecare s\u0103 \u00eent\u00e2mpine felurile de m\u00e2ncare tradi\u021bionale ale celuilalt cu o cantitate egal\u0103 de surprindere \u0219i familiaritate, trebuiau s\u0103-\u0219i fac\u0103 fotografii cu ei st\u00e2nd la masa \u00een\u021belegerii \u00eentre oameni \u0219i, cel mai important, trebuiau s\u0103 repete figura anul urm\u0103tor. Ne delectam cu aceste pove\u0219ti, care nu erau neadev\u0103rate. Dar era ceva fals legat de c\u00e2t de reconfortante erau pentru noi.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portalul (supraindividualitate virtual\u0103) ne con\u021bine pe to\u021bi (\u0219i ne controleaz\u0103): \u201eOamenii care tr\u0103iau \u00een portal erau adesea compara\u021bi cu legendarii \u0219obolani de laborator care loveau iar \u0219i iar un buton ca s\u0103 primeasc\u0103 bobi\u021be. Dar m\u0103car \u0219obolanii primeau bobi\u021be sau m\u0103car promisiunea unor bobi\u021be sau amintirea unor bobi\u021be.  Pe c\u00e2nd noi, atunci c\u00e2nd loveam butonul, tot ce primeam era s\u0103 fim din ce \u00een ce mai mult ni\u0219te \u0219obolani.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
