<\/a>Da, m\u0103 cred un tip tare. Un tip tare, de\u0219tept, frumos, talentat \u0219i modest. Dar nu s\u0103risem oare prea mult calul? Cum, repet, s\u0103 sco\u021bi o carte de c\u00eeteva sute de pagini dintr-o ciorn\u0103, aproape, scris\u0103 la prima m\u00e2n\u0103, de sub o pagin\u0103?<\/p>\n\n\n\nEra ca \u0219i cum ai avea o ghind\u0103, iar din ea vrei s\u0103-\u021bi ias\u0103 o banan\u0103. \u00cens\u0103 o banan\u0103 de-un metru, cel pu\u021bin, cu gust de ghind\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
C\u00eeteva zile \u021bin minte c\u0103 m-am plimbat prin cas\u0103, de la un cap\u0103t la cel\u0103lalt, cu m\u00eeinile la spate, ca Napoleon \u00eenaintea unui b\u0103t\u0103lii decisive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Laptopul era deschis pe textul acela mic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M\u0103 uitam la el, mai f\u0103ceam o tur\u0103 prin cas\u0103, iar m\u0103 holbam la el, iar mai f\u0103ceam o tur\u0103 prin cas\u0103, \u0219i tot a\u0219a.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00centr-o diminea\u021b\u0103, la cafea, din cer a cobor\u00eet un fir narativ. Prudent, am \u00eenceput s\u0103 trag de el, \u00eent\u00eei mental. L-am zg\u00eel\u021b\u00eeit. Firul a \u021binut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
E bine, am zis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M-am a\u0219ezat \u00een fa\u021ba laptopului \u0219i m-am ridicat la final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trei sau patru luni am stat pe scaun \u00een fa\u021ba laptopului.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La sf\u00eer\u0219it, cartea era gata.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alte dou\u0103 luni am f\u0103cut modific\u0103ri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eMoartea lui Pongo\u201d, romanul, exista.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Incredibil, stima\u021bi telespectatori!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Curat incredibil, Coane F\u0103nic\u0103!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Cum v\u0103 dori\u021bi s\u0103 fie citit romanul \u201eMoartea lui Pongo\u201d?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Fiindc\u0103 modestia mea bine-cunoscut\u0103 de multe ori \u00eemi egaleaz\u0103 talentul, dac\u0103 nu chiar \u00eel dep\u0103\u0219e\u0219te, am s\u0103 r\u0103spund a\u0219a: cred cu t\u0103rie c\u0103 \u201eMoartea lui Pongo\u201d e o carte important\u0103. Cred cu t\u0103rie c\u0103 \u201eMoartea lui Pongo\u201d va \u00eensemna ceva \u00een literatura rom\u00e2n\u0103 contemporan\u0103 \u0219i nu doar. Cred cu t\u0103rie c\u0103 \u201eMoartea lui Pongo\u201d va deveni un reper. Cred cu t\u0103rie c\u0103 \u201eMoartea lui Pongo\u201d e cea mai dur\u0103 carte scris\u0103 vreodat\u0103 \u00een limba rom\u00e2n\u0103. Cred, Doamne, ajut\u0103 necredin\u021bei mele!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nevast\u0103-mea a \u00eenceput-o de dou\u0103 ori, a abandonat-o \u0219i abia la a treia tentativ\u0103 a reu\u0219it s\u0103 o termine, dar mi-a zis c\u0103 textul a deprimat-o groaznic \u0219i c\u0103 m\u0103 ur\u0103\u0219te.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eMoartea lui Pongo\u201d se cite\u0219te u\u0219or, \u00eens\u0103 nu-i o carte u\u0219or de citit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ca echivalent, doar \u201eSolda\u021bii. Poveste din Ferentari\u201d, de Adrian \u0218chiop, se apropie, vag, prin tonalitate \u0219i atmosfer\u0103, de \u201eMoartea lui Pongo\u201d, \u00eens\u0103 acolo personajul principal al romanului este un intelectual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00cen \u201eMoartea lui Pongo\u201d, cu o singur\u0103 excep\u021bie, nu exist\u0103 intelectuali. Exist\u0103 doar borfa\u0219i, droga\u021bi, curve, \u021bigani, pu\u0219c\u0103ria\u0219i, vagabonzi, aurolaci \u0219i mafio\u021bi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grigore Vasiliu, ratatul \u0219ef, cel care spune povestea la persoana \u00eent\u00e2i, e fost \u0219ofer de taxi, absolvent de liceu, cel mai \u0219colit dintre to\u021bi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Universul din \u201eMoartea lui Pongo\u201d e unul \u00eenchis, blocat, orb ca o c\u00e2rti\u021b\u0103, care se conduce dup\u0103 reguli scrise cu s\u00e2nge \u0219i din care se iese doar cu picioarele \u00eenainte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201eGroapa\u201d lui Barbu mai seam\u0103n\u0103 pu\u021bin cu \u201eMoartea lui Pongo\u201d, \u00eens\u0103 doar la nivel de personaje \u0219i poezie. Nu exist\u0103 pitoresc \u00een \u201eMoartea lui Pongo\u201d, nu exist\u0103 veselie, nu exist\u0103 culoare, nu exist\u0103 anotimpuri, exuberan\u021b\u0103 ori soare, iar s\u0103pt\u0103m\u00e2nile, aici, sunt o past\u0103 c\u0103c\u0103niu-verzuie, mereu la fel, o vom\u0103 gre\u021boas\u0103 de lunimar\u021bimiercurijoivineris\u00eemb\u0103t\u0103duminic\u0103lunimar\u021bi etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La nivel de descriere, \u201eMoartea lui Pongo\u201d ar putea p\u0103rea o utopie neagr\u0103, un co\u0219mar postapocaliptic, dar nu e, din p\u0103cate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
De la un cap\u0103t la altul, pe toate paginile din \u201eMoartea lui Pongo\u201d scrie, cu mizerie, lacrimi, foame \u0219i s\u00e2nge, realitate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iar eu a\u0219 mai da din cas\u0103, c\u0103 e cartea mea, \u00eemi place mult \u0219i o consider o carte important\u0103 pentru literatur\u0103 rom\u00e2n\u0103, dar o idee, a\u0219a, \u00een mare, v-a\u021bi f\u0103cut. Plus c\u0103 n-am pomenit o singur\u0103 silab\u0103 despre subiect, ori despre Pongo, b\u0103tr\u00eenul \u0219i dragul de Pongo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Cum s-a conturat ideea romanului \u201eMoartea lui Pongo\u201d?
