Odor of sanctity: Gabriel Banez, The Virgin of Ensenada

                                                                             

Tell your fingers

accompany you into the abyss, how
I've known how much I
pushed farther into the depths, where my dream
most bitter
has slept with heart you in bed
wrenkling possibility of my name.
Paul Celan, Reverses breath , translation J.-P. Lefebvre, Seuil, 2003

The work of Gabriel Banez, great Argentine writer too soon reveals itself gradually disappeared in French-speaking reader, through editions The Last Drop of which I mentioned here . The following children disappear, beautiful meditation on time, childhood, irretrievable loss of innocence, Christopher and Nathan Eberhardt Sedierta include in their beautiful catalog extraordinary novel, originally published in 1998: The Virgin of Ensenada.

Here, the center of the world is a small town in Argentina, Ensenada, partido of Buenos Aires province, laid along the ocean. Port of arrival but also the starting point, it is teeming with a cosmopolitan population that is activated in a disorderly manner around the church of Notre Dame, but also on the docks and in bad neighborhoods where cross marine gangsters and prostitutes, paupers expelled from their homeland by the various dictatorships which are born in Europe at this early Thirties. Just like Argentina, Ensenada is at the mercy of people who pour their ships afloat unfortunate, Croats, Greeks, Turks, Italians, Germans and ... Belgian Divas as Sara and her father, a widower, who fled anti-Semitism and hopes to sell hats. The movement is constant, the pitch of the hulls of boats moored in the port is transmitted to the whole city seems unable to fix or offer its people any chance of stability. Even the father figure can not resist this impermanence: the failure of his business - due to the impossibility of being understood: indeed, he does not speak English - Sara forced to look elsewhere for the balance it aspires.

All men are made of water.

This somewhat cryptic sentence is imposed on it immediately and never leave. Fleeting, fickle, they can they provide support to the little girl of nine years who wanders the streets of the city inhabited by migrants? Thus begins the quest for Sarita: that of language - she wants French forget that it is odious, but also that of a human connection, and subtle solid, stable and evanescent as love. Guided by the smells, the voices that whisper sweet prayers in an idiom which is still unknown, mixed babbling prayers, she reaches into a place that would become his landmark: Church of Our Lady of Mercy, which the priest, Bernardo Benzano the collects. In him it does not recognize a father, but despite his young age, a man with beautiful gray eyes and head to sea. Between them creates a bond that is as much of the mind and heart as a forbidden sensuality but that materializes with transience, such as perfumes the composition of which it initiates:

Benzano taught him the rudiments of traditional perfumery and encouraged by the study of species of flowers and roots, trying to discover the odor of sanctity. She spent whole days in distilled extracts, to classify the pollen, and when at last she was about to make a discovery, she shut the perfume in small vials of Funchal blue glass and spun to submit to the verdict priest. Benzano bent over, took off the cap and, as a wine of the divine, squinted and let the scent is released into the atmosphere. He could stay in that long olfactory ecstasy minutes, even hours: after having taken possession of the senses, then the tide flooded the sky in memory of unexplored corners, he said. Thus the need to savor this fragrance. Not just to breathe. To feel he had to travel. The odor of sanctity was so rare and so wild that it led to innocence, a place thought Benzano located somewhere between the knees and the waterline of childhood.

Perfume, delicate balance between meeting immaterial sense, mysticism, the purity of childhood, is engraved in the memory where it leaves an indelible imprint, but a body, more than matter. The ethereal fragrance of rose, orange blossom, lemon verbena, juniper substitute for caresses, touches on in contact with the body. Benzano to the memory of the woman survives in the memory of a smell, as the effluvium syrupy body of a prostitute he can not forget. Between man and the little girl spirit installs relationship fails to materialize so that ephemeral, such as the appearance that occurs once: Lady, sad-eyed mother figure, it is revealed. Evidence of his innocence - a theme very present in the work of Gabriel Bañez - it is also a manifestation of femininity, because it embodied Virgin then a woman, a prostitute and the priest child surprise open frolic with Sarita's father and that the player will identify the latest Eva - Evita, a prostitute with whom he also maintains Benzano an affair. The Virgin is the woman she becomes flesh; error Sara is also that of all the Argentine people who could see Evita Peron an angelic figure. Thus, the small daughter does not discern the evil where it is located; this purity can connect to its surroundings. But can it survive the irreparable leak that time blessed child? Miracles are long. Such as perfumes evaporate and die, the links that are created can not exist at the time. The filial love felt by the priest for child turns into desire. Refusing to indulge in them, it tries to expel the girl by entrusting it to the soup of the Child, a charity to which it continues to escape to find the man she loves.

Ushuaia

The world in which bears and Sara Bernardo is inconsistent. Ensenada, a small town trying to prosper in the shadow of Buenos Aires, is like a world in microcosm: they speak all languages, they also forget; meet there all those held by driven from their countries political disorder. Eva Virgin - prostitute, is the wife of one Joseph Broz that readers will recognize! The fantasy novel which intertwines history with individual destinies, founding a common mythology, both are similar cataclysms suffered by all peoples. The Virgin watches over a world beset with misfortune, wars, dictatorships existing and emerging ... Love can not flourish, as everyone is aware of the role it should play. The priest who aspires to sainthood, noting carefully any miraculous event he witnesses, can not help but be swept away by the passion he feels for Sarah. He attempts to deflect the course indulging in the sensuality of her relationship Eva, then away as far as possible, in a dual quest for purity and of itself. This desperate flight from Argentina this odyssey, letters arrive at Sarita, however belatedly: impressions of a desperate poetry, they also reflect the gradual abandonment of self-awareness. Bernardo Benzano renounces his identity, then forget it. Only love remains passionate and heartbreaking, whose testimony occupies the end of the novel. Falcino Pietro, Bernardo's mentor, could not fully substitute for him the letters he sends Sara is loving, but also of madness. The distance between two people seems to abolish it, as the girl occupies the thoughts, the heart of one she is loved.

; ; Ushuaia Friday 26

Dear Sara,

We were raised so high. Things die slowly. But at times, our souls are in unison. And each of those moments, I feel like being alone with you.

Pietro Falcino

Thus, there is a journey that we undertake is carried by the desire, but can stop at any moment, as this miraculous streetcar can not go to the destination - which, incidentally? And as the wonderful flavors fanning themselves, happiness is fleeting and can not be sustainable, as everyone's life is subject to the whims of a universal destiny that crushes the individual. Spectator and sometimes officer of this disorder, a character that we have not even mentioned, Filadelfio, the puppeteer, who tries to watch over Sarah and Bernardo, but whose kindness is hampered by the violence of this world ... and time, which prevents him to accompany those he protects. But the memories remain, those of Sarah, who at death's door, she remembers those times we offer these subtle and heady scents, these tastes, the sounds, those languages that blend and enriched, dying to be reborn into a new idiom as this Lunfardo Buenos Aires. The belle traduction de Frédéric Gross-Quelen restitue à merveille cet univers foisonnant de sensualité, de tendresse et de désespoir, de chaleur et d’humanité aussi.

My chèrebonne, we told you so often that a girl should remain in the convent jusqu'àce she should marry, you can deduce that this lady who came voirta mother, and this elegant whiskered gentleman who cross it was niunie new maid, or the cobbler! Agree that you voilàprévenue!

A: Deuxans Montreal

Two years ago, in February 2009, I arrived àMontréal.

When I look back now, I feel a sentimentmêlé amazement and obvious.

I dreamed of living in North America since quej'y had spent a year as a teenager. I love Montreal since lapremière time I had set foot for the first time in 1999, thanks Sachs Disease and multiple invitations to permit quim'avaient back almost every year.

When I arrived, I was very happy, but those quim'ont hosted here (friends, colleagues CREUM) told me to plusieursreprises: "You will perhaps be disappointed. "

It's been two years since I live here and I'm pasdéçu at all. I feel at home in this city in this country.

Moreover, I live in Montreal released biendes respects. My researcher status, even if modest and temporary, has opened many doors and opportunities. In two years I puassurer two charges of course - one (fall 2009) Clinical Ethics, the other (in the winter semester 2011) of literary creation. I wrote deuxromans ( The Choir Women , published by POL in 2009; LesInvisibles, to appear in Black River in May 2011). I publiéplusieurs dozens of articles and columns, including half a dozen enlangue English. I lead a writing workshop currently "Ethics etFiction" and it told me the other two, one at the festival "Metropolis Blue" in Montreal (end April 2011), the other the letters Facultéde Tours (end of March 2011). I attended a dozen colloquesen as contributor and made a couple of conferences (Three ouquatre Skype!). I assure three columns: one monthly medical passeportsante.net on the site, the second and cultural monthly lesjournaux in the group "Centre France" (in the Sunday edition, faceà page "Books ;), the third medical and bi-monthly consumer magazine in the Quebec health "Protect yourself".

I can not write regularly for "Rover Arts, the Montreal Blog Anglophone cultural. I have postétrois articles on television last year and since then nothing. It reflects my sansdoute relative disinterest critical for the series. I continue to watch (I like it, I like reading and going to the movies), but I do not have much to say. In any case, not at this time.

Paradoxically, I feel at least as "busy" as I was in France, but much less tired. Laplupart of my activities take place in Montreal (Well, I'm going to next lasemaine Chicoutimi and Sherbrooke in March, but it's still timely). I passebeaucoup time on the bus and metro (40 minute journey between domicileet office) but I read a lot more than before (the TGV from Paris The Manset, I fell asleep ...).

I read a lot more. Toujoursbeaucoup write. I feel I think more. Librement.Plus more clearly.

Beginnings is a great break with nombred'habitudes, objects, people, behaviors. This is not nécessairements'isoler bent. It is, put some counters. And if things pourcertaines is scary and difficult for others it unebénédiction.

Two: Resolutions for 2011

It's never too late to take bonnesrésolutions for the year, so here's mine:

- Finish the novel I'm trying to write depuissix months.

- Stop check my email boxes tousle quarters of an hour

- Finish the book on family medicine

- Write three articles in English even if c'estdifficile

- Finish the written version of the conference Surla sexuality of medical students that I gave a fortnight ago

- (and published)

- Read a novel and short stories in English (I nelis as books of humanities at the moment)

- Collect all items of this blog for a book that enfaire be entitled "My life at the keyboard" (premièrepensée) or "Occupation: Writer" or something else (suggestionsbienvenues)

- Spend less time watching the series (maisj'ai nice to have greatly reduced my consumption, I can not descendresous biweekly) and more time to do or see movies with my boys (but there are so many !)

- Enter the big book on ethics in medical lesséries I dream for a long time (but I would first have to catch up with House, MD and I buy lessaisons of ER ... And I miss that I review everything.)

- Make a little more exercise - but it takes dutemps Reading and writing and, frankly, outside of walking (I do every day) and swimming (cold and there's no piscinetout close) ... Well, PJ has just given me a bike for my birthday, but have to wait ilva March or April to get back.

- Write more regularly (once a week) on this blog. Plus, it does not seem really desirable: it may cast off time for other activities and in any case all leslecteurs nurse of this blog would be unable to follow, moreover pluspersonne not send me texts for exercises.

- When I am permanent resident of Quebec, apply for a grant writing assistance of the Canada Council. I less ashamed to be here when I lived in France, where I always found it improper to ask for public assistance or residence as a writer when I was already earning a good living.

How To Tell Scorpio Man

, Soothe the dust ...

The title of the beautiful novel by Tabish Khair published by Editions du toad is strange Soothe dust ... Dust is raised by the bus that connects to Phansa Gaya in Bihar state: for the "calm", a gesture endlessly reproduced by the merchant mithai, whose shop, beside the road, offers travelers the comfort of sweets, these tilkuts with sesame paste and wrapped around a kink wooden pole. The constantly repeated effort aims to freeze the small tornado triggered by the passing vehicle. It does not protect the crushed sesame paste which set the basis for the treat: the man knows that's impossible. But the world must regain its original arrangement, each grain resume its place, to somehow resist the threat of disorder. Pathetic attempt:

With skillful gestures, the man plunged his hands into the bucket and waved to spread arcs of water around him. The drops fell on the dry dust of the roadside, on the splashing in the first, and then forming a real lasso, lassos of water, hoping the man would force the dust to remain at rest during the early hours of the morning traffic.

Tabish Khair's novel, the first that we could read in French (in the beautiful translation of Blandine Longre ) takes us on a journey amazing, "home" to "home" travel itinerary full of surprises, of chance encounters, whose path preordained adapts to the vagaries of life. The bus, driven by Mangal Singh is a microcosm unlikely event disparate fates intersect. Each traveler carries with him his past, his history text, which appears to disperse into different fragments corresponding to disparate voices, finds its unity in the vehicle that brings these lives for a moment, one where everyone hopes to find his home. Silhouettes, faces, clothing ... Things come together without knowing each other, and yet, the story gradually reveals their identity: the brazen young woman with her child, we recognize Zeenat, the maid whose Irfan, the first narrator was in love, the young boy with sunglasses plastic, which carries with him a beautiful sari varanasi, Chottu is that the reader has met in Patna ... Different narrators take over the story, some in first person, as Irfan or controller. The alternating narrative voices, in a complicated ballet at first, but the choreography becomes clear as you go. Thus, the novel bursts into a multitude stories, confronting us with all social classes, but also to all records, from drama to comedy, nostalgia for tragedy. A colorful mosaic of these chips comes together, like a society that is both composite and, somehow, attached.

From these fragments enrolled in short chapters emerges a unified world through movement, colors, smells, sounds, anything that presents itself to everyone equally. Indeed, if life does not offer all the comforts, the same opportunities, all can smell the scent that rises from the river, collect the swish of traffic, watching the flight of birds ... Tabish Khair gives a key to the language of feelings. It is particularly important chapters in the second person, whose identity remains unclear of the protagonist - he is an inhabitant of the building where Chottu was the home of Mrs. Prasad in Patna:

The night deepens. You're lying on your bed. The usual noises coming up to you. Knowing even a precarious world thee known that this reassures you. Dogs bark at vying for a district another, a truck goes sometimes growling, someone sings in the grip of the night - a drunkard or a peasant who comes home late - the doors open and close here and there in the building, faucet drip tirelessly in the kitchen of Sharma. If it was colder or warmer, you'd hear the creaking of piercing something that stretches or shrinks inside the walls.

While it is difficult to know if you go somewhere, if the home that we regret and we wish still exists, it is possible to decipher the signs that returns the world. Tabish Khair's writing is a great sensuality, it feeds on sounds, scents, colors, awakening in the reader the impression of feeling, seeing, touching, tasting the same, because the kitchen is in the novel an important place. In the beginning of the novel, one of the main characters is Mian Wazir, cook, or rather head, bringing his art to perfection. In the chapters that evoke Wazir, the narrator, Irfan, also remembers his love for Zeenat, the servant of the neighbors, which he perceives the presence merely by the smell it gives off a heady perfume for him, but the scent coarse according to others. Towards the end of the novel, a young man, he passed the teetars , partridges, remembers that their flesh is delicate but assumed that he never ate.

But the smells, sounds, tastes the same, are fugitives, and fail to fix this busy world, the image of that bus that will eventually stop inappropriately. Identities are also blurred in this changing country, where the original organization in caste is officially challenged - but not really in the soul. Mangal Singh wanted to be a writer, he drives the bus. Irfan Zeenat wanted, he let escape. One who calls himself Parvati was a man, a eunuch, she changes her identity to escape the existence of proscribed she led. Rasmus, the firangi - Europeans - was born of an Indian father, but he does not speak the language very well from its origins. Moreover, the language is also central to the novel. Blandine Longre, for his translation, has chosen to retain the terms that pepper urdus Hindi or English used in India and Tabish Khair chosen by (a glossary is placed at the end of the book).

What is "home"? A fixed place, a landmark that we would last forever? In this uncertain world, no home is stronger than the memory that is preserved:

I in me my memories, this house of, say, sixty-nine pieces. I saw for the first time the world I've tried to describe through the windows of these rooms in clutter, the pieces all pell-mell - as in a bhoolbhoolaiya , as in a house that grows and that was demolished over the years, as one of its mental states (when we dream, that one remembers that one or meditate), when there are no breaks in the way things crumble or ebb. My home my fragile, confused, monstrous, who have never been confined by Yahan ke Ammi, Ammi's house, or our ghar , although I always carried their burden.

Thus the novel is an attempt to fix the world in words that constitute it, the interlacing of these voices, these languages, built up a world sustainable. The kaleidoscope is organized into a mosaic with iridescent colors blend to create a world where everyone finds his place. The journey can be completed, the fates remain suspended - the reader to contribute to this construction by imagining developments possible: it is also integrated with the work, a small piece of this assembly, including registering to turn his emotions, feelings, gathering those memories that will help build these walls more solid than stone, those of memory.

Romain Verger, Big Dipper: desire and eternity ... The descent into Hell

Then I saw you adjust your breath
the beasts
your word to the size of the body breathe

extract the last saliva quartz.

Romain Verger First donated the stone

The first novel by Romain Verger Hotspots , transported us into a world where everyday life was gradually replaced by the strange, in a thrilling journey where the human was based insensibly Ocean. The relation of man to the universe, its possible merger or not with the nature that rejects it, absorbed or digested, his loneliness, his uniqueness, his desperate attempts to become her own refusal to conform, are themes that haunt the novelist's exceptional work. And his three novels are they cause a constellation mysterious and exciting, a whole both disparate and consistent as these texts are linked to the enigmatic beauty. The second Big Dipper , guide us on unexpected paths, both linear and cyclical, leading the reader into a surprising move: begins a journey taken between temporality and permanence, much like those stars that seem immutable but whose light reaches us from time immemorial, perhaps already dead when we perceive the brightness.

Could this be the dawn of time? Already, the dawn is gone. Its sweetness that installs clarity gradually evaporated in the brutality of an eternal day. The man leaves the darkness of his cave to face the relentless white landscape of ice, expelled as a matrix that can offer him nothing. Arcas, the sole survivor of a clan Paleolithic stands before the horizontality of a world buried. This body, unique vertical element, seems to offend the refined nature.

Death also fled, abandoning this mineral alone. In the cave where he took refuge, sleep it is not given, as to prevent the neglect, but ignorance of the fate of his book fantasy enabled by the flames of fire that licked the walls tormented shelter. Depletion of reserves is born a "great hunger" which is not turned away in his dreams: a dream world is gradually replacing the intolerable reality. His feverish dreams resurrected his tribe, he followed the women admiring their skill in the art of preparing meals, Era, the companion disappeared, her son finally ... In his dreams, he can touch them again, reliving the beautiful love under the waterfall, find the love of things forgotten. But the contact of flesh, even in a dream, revived the hungry, and caresses become biting, love is turning into greed. Gradually, Arcas is stripped of everything that made him a human being: his body falls asleep, his desires are fading, all sensation disappears. The journey he undertakes journey aimlessly in a glacial landscape, keeps it in the living world:

Days in advance in the ice while slipping under the horizon itself, in rotating always returning to his original point. There was something foolish to chain lengths of these landscape, swallow them one after the other, without knowing either the purpose or reason: at most it seemed to him that its not decided on the survival the world that this land which was started and would end with him and that the second when his body let go, the world would cease at the same time, for he was alone and walking without this object, this wandering white, he had finally gratification higher: in every area of space captured in each plain sight loss in each stride, he drew the certainty of having extended the world, to be transplanted into new territories, new extensions, such as sewing room after room of huge crust.

Human-animal, that is to say, still driven by a desire: I would invite the reader to refer to the article by Jean-Clet Martin appeared in number 73 Chimera (1). This work preserves his humanity, or at least life in him, distinguishing it from the landscape of ice that snapped tree trunks, brush, rocks ... The whiteness and the cold made him a being of purity, deprived of any carnal attraction: neither hunger or sexual desire. Arcas seems doomed in this race under the sign of a star, punctuated by stops inhospitable but that it survives because it no longer feels the need for comfort. Only living element, standing before the infinite horizon, he hopes for nothing. Until the unexpected encounter with the splendid animal, the Big Dipper, which reinstates death in this universe heat, odor, softness ... But confrontation is also a threat to which man submits without fear. He is saved, then drawn into the world of animals. Now the bear is a presence, she breaks his solitude and returned to life. Then everything becomes possible, appetite and desire can be reborn; human and animal recreate a link aggregate, and the bear, a giant white body, the goddess of flesh, becomes a female figure that unites Arcas. The fun is possible again, even multiplied, since the man now lives in unison with stones, animals, the universe.

Grotte Chauvet altar bear skull.

time then freezes in the whiteness of the animal that affects the landscape traversed, it merges with outer space, a nirvana of forgetfulness of self and others, the body does being one with the world.

Filled with the neglect of his family and himself, he crossed the weather, sleet, an immense time, unknown, the fanatic, although the idea of him frozen in time, had taken thickness he imagined the earth to his body he cracked, as is walking on, within, in white. That's what he should know what he had taken so far to seek in the depths of this beast.

The mortification suffered becomes a source of a desire to merge, but she can not live at the cost of loneliness and fading. Thirty five thousand years later, alone among men, Mâchefer reproduced voluntarily, this harrowing experience and soft. All his energy turns paradoxically towards laborers from exhaustion, he saw as a source of strength. It is to resist the effects of hunger pain and his body is battered pushed past the limits of resistance. Arcas as he lives in a cave, a mineral subsoil and humid where light barely penetrates. Every day he began a journey through tunnels and alleyways, which leads to the gallery where he watches every day on animals frozen in an appearance of movement. Sometimes, to achieve this, it also passes through large areas of the city pale in the snow. The whiteness of her empty fridge opens in a blast of ice that reassures Echoing the purity he hopes. Humans who populate the world does not interest him: he lives for himself, focused on this asceticism. The only figures who sign up for a time in the landscape are feminine: mothers obsessed with food, whose body seems made only to the extremities, which engulfs and expelling it, reduced to a digestive tract.

His physique revolved around an early prolapse, as if shaped by a childhood omnibuccal mind, his body had adapted to his needs in a flexible tube wound infinitely expandable , terminated at both ends by two interchangeable mouths.

This frightening mother splits in two Women: Mia, ogress, she-bear that feeds Mâchefer, filling her sex-hungry food in quantity, in a strange courtship of the gift and the sinking; Ana, an older woman spreading across strange plants and fragile, making the basement lair of a plant where Mâchefer soon nature would impede his movements. Each of them has something the bear. One is a goddess hideous that it makes a weird cult idol of flesh to be fed, the other around the man recreates a natural kingdom. The existence of clinker is shattered by an unexpected event: Mia disappears from his life, leaving him a monstrous child which she gave birth in the basement, as if spitting out all the food absorbed.

Jackson Pollock, Birth (1941)

The birth of this baby to the huge size, whose face was deprived of eyes adorned with a scarlet mouth made to swallow, appears to separate the man from his hunger. While her appetite disappears, focusing exclusively in appalling infant whose destiny seems to be eating, digesting, and produce smelly secretions. While it seems unclean, but the filth that spread are those that come over the body of a father that has been the cause. Bear a child, which splits into a filthy plush offered by Ana

Similarly, the belly open a thousand times had definitely lost its stuffing and dragged his misery, his stinking envelope from one corner to the another bed because, after being filled and filled, stitched and sewed the bear offered at the sight and smell his adult abandonment, surrender all the more repugnant that ill concealed identity olfactory inimitable made grease, hair wet, moss, armpits, cheese crusts.

The focus remains fearful Mâchefer denies everything. While the child enjoys, growing up to become a gigantic, man gradually disfigures the body's refusal to voluntarily reaching this decorporation suffered by Arcas. Its climax occurs when the body finally reduced to a skeleton, melts to create support for the world. The two men are joined by their amalgam mineral world, the whiteness, the strength of the intangible. They freeze solid, creating a bridge between time and space to eternity ...

NB: Read First donations Stone is attend a double birth (at least): the birth of poetry before the words on the walls of the Chauvet tormented, but also the Big Dipper ... I can only encourage the reader to see this poetic, beautiful and moving, where Romain Verger found the breath of the man whose body is gone but the spirit remains in these traces poetic contours, these scratches . It also discovers another gift: that of the author for other forms of art (drawings who register their routes in the book are his ...

(1) The animal, which the word itself suggests, appears first as animation. It is invested with a movement that is not stone, a movement that does not just fall like when a body descends, driven into a hill. Instead, the animal moves from the inside by a force whose own mechanics can not account, she has a knowledge of movement outside, do nothing better than dealing with the inertia of the body he was actually moving.
