Några ord som passar särskilt bra på Världsbokdagen finner jag i min pågående läsning, Kafka Was The Rage av Anatole Broyard:
"I realize that people still read books now and some people actually love them, but in 1946 in The Village our feelings about books - I'm talking about my friends and myself - went beyond love. It was as if we didn't know where we ended and books began. Books were our weather, our environment, our clothing. We didn't simply read books; we became them."
Åh! Det er antagelivis den fineste beskrivelsen av bøker jeg noen gang har sett!
SvaraRaderaJa, visst är det fint beskrivet!! I boken dessutom New York, New York :)
RaderaMmm, vilken härlig känsla. Kärnfullt beskrivet.
SvaraRaderamen åhh, en bok anche per me!
SvaraRaderaNästa vecka utkommer den på svenska under titeln "Vykort till litteraturen – memoarer om Greenwich Village" (Rámus)
