A művész dicsÅsége


 


Szóljon a jazzband -


bingó-bangó!


Táncolunk majd


és búg a tangó;


Csattan a taps; de


szép a lányka!


TündöklÅ új


a fiú ruhája...


 


Meg kellett halnia, hogy újra kezdhesse elrontott életét. Közönsége már eltemette, gyászbeszéd és méltatások nélkül: erkölcsi hullaként kezelték. Keresztülnéztek rajta, amint letűnt idÅk divatjamúlt szellemeként botladozott közöttük alkoholtól ködös szemmel, félszeg, bocsánatkérÅ mosollyal. Eszméletlen tivornyákból sodródott a józanság partjai felé: fogadkozott, hogy dolgozni fog, nem iszik többé. Még részegen is fáradhatatlanul működött ironikus zöld szemének minden jelentÅs mozzanatot felvevÅ filmforgató gépe; agyában párbeszédek és dallamok rögzÅdtek. A született író csalhatatlan érzékével élményeit az idÅ szűrÅje nélkül is azonnal jelképpé oldotta fel. Alkoholtól reszketÅ kezével keresgélte nem alkuvó szigorúsággal az élménydarabkák legmegfelelÅbb helyét a színes és művészi igazságú mozaikban, melyen élete utolsó évében dolgozott. Végül nem is ivott - csakhogy már késÅ volt. Szíve már nem adott haladékot, hogy befejezhesse dédelgetett, igényes regényét, Az utolsó cézárt. A végsÅ szívroham 1940 decemberében végzett vele. Érzelmi, erkölcsi, anyagi csÅdtömegnek tekintette magát: még tehetségemmel se tudtam sáfárkodni - mondta keserűen. Pazarolta magát, és ellobogott, mint a két végén meggyújtott fáklya. Mi maradt belÅle?


Kortársai úgy könyvelték el Francis Scott Fitzgeraldot, mint a húszas évek új nemzedékének képviselÅjét, a dzsesszkorszak elÅfutárát, névadóját és termékét - semmi mást. MerÅben új típusok jelentkeztek már elsÅ írásaiban is: a felsÅ középosztály elkényeztetett fiai és lányai, a koraérett, fanyar, cinikus flapperek és egyetemi arany ifjak. MeglehetÅsen meglepÅdött, amikor kissé wertheri világfájdalmú, de modern impresszionista stílusú és felépítésű regényébÅl az olvasók a flappert emelték ki, pedig Å egy érzékeny lelkű, tehetséges fiú jellemnevelÅ iskoláját, botlásait és önmagára-találását kívánta bemutatni. De a sikerbÅl azonnal megértette, hogy öntudatlanul a korszak pulzusára tapintott, s most már átvette New York szívdobbanásának ütemét. A nagy példányszámú The Saturday Evening Post számára gyártja a flapper történeteket egyre emelkedÅ tiszteletdíjért. A Kalóz a szigeten (Offshore Pirate), Veronika bubifrizurája (Bernice Bobs Her Hair), A népszerű lány (The Popular Girl) legemlékezetesebb sikerű elbeszélései. Novellásköteteinek a címével is az igényekhez alkalmazkodik: Flapperek és filozófusok, A dzsesszkorszak meséi - ki tudott volna ellenállni ilyen csábító címeknek? TÅkésíti a flappert, és majdnem élete végéig, a dzsesszkorszak bukása után is visszatérÅ témái: A Szerelemhajó (Love Boat), A vonzerÅ (Magnetism), Jacob létrája (Jacob´s Ladder), De a maga korában (At your Age), Josephine múltja (A Woman With a Past).


Fitzgerald az évekig tartó, egyetlen mámoros estély forgatagában is mindenkinél elÅbb érezte meg a közeledÅ vihart, a leselkedÅ végzetet. Élte, látta, megírta és intette a kort. Újra címekkel: Azok a szomorú fiatalok (All the Sad Young Men) a novelláskötetének címe, és az új regényéé: Szépek és átkozottak (The beautiful and the Damned). De akkor még a valóság arányai eltorzultak: Még a hó sem volt valódi a húszas években. Ha azt akartuk, hogy ne legyen hó, csak fizetnünk kellett. Kölcsönkapott idÅ volt mindenképpen: a felsÅ tízezer a nagyhercegek gondtalanságával és a kóristalányok léhaságával ütötte agyon az idÅt. Akkora bÅségben forgott a dollár, hogy nem aggódtak, ha pillanatnyilag elfogyott a pénzük. Lehetetlennek látszott, hogy másnapra ne szerezzenek. De mire a húszas évek lángja ellobogott, Fitzgeraldban is kihunyt az ifjúság. Befelé fordult, s mint a vak, aki a többi érzékszervét fejleszti az elveszett szeme világa pótlására, Å is új értékeket keresgélt az elveszettek vagy elvetettek helyébe - és magyarázatot a bukásra. S a gazdasági válság pillanatnyi kijózanodásában sokan hazasietnek Amerikába: Fitzgeraldék is visszatérnek (részben Zelda betegsége miatt). Hajójuk New York felé közeledik, és az Elveszet városom-ban (My Lost City) Scott felidézi, mit jelentett számára valaha New York. Amikor a város vasbeton, üveg- és acélrengetege magába szippantotta a fiatal írót, Fitzgerald ámult a frissen épült Woolworth áruház rózsaszínű, égbe nyúló tornyán, és üvölteni szeretett volna a boldogságtól: tudta, hogy mindent megkapott, és ilyen boldog nem lesz többé soha. A válság alatt New York (és Amerika) varázsa elveszett: kihalt és komor, mint egy romváros. Az Empire State Building tetejérÅl nézegeti a várost, és megérti a titkot, melyet a gondtalan években sohasem gyanítottak. New York (és Amerika) nem az egész világmindenség, mint hitték: határai vannak minden irányban, lehetÅségei nem korlátlanok.


Írói művészete magaslatára Fitzgerald 29 éves korában érkezett A nagy Gatsby-vel, 1925-ben. Megjelenése után 15 évvel ismerte fel, hogy többi regényének a megírásával egy percre sem lett volna szabad ellankadnia. Mert a tékozló évtized után, a harmincas évekre már nemcsak a világról tűntek el illúziói, hanem önmagáról is. Emberi nagyságot már nem várt el magától - tudta, hogy roncs. Az új évtizednek nem lehet példaképe, csak intÅ példája, de az talán még lehet. Valódi énje keresése közben rombolta addigi képmásait, a hamis értékeket: így hullt el Basil Duke Lee, Amory Blaine, Anthony Patch, Dick Diver. Férfikora botlásait könyörtelen ítélettel tárta fel írásai egész sora. Az alkoholbeteg (An Alcoholic Case), Az elfuserált évtized (The Lost Decade) és Finnegan finanszírozása (Financing Finnegan) a józan Fitzgerald borzadását mutatja, élete mélypontjára tekintve. Félt, hogy még rosszabb is következhet: önmaga számára figyelmeztetÅül írta Hollywoodban az elaljasult Pat Hobbyról szóló történeteket. Nem szabad, hogy valaha idáig süllyedjen.


A húszas évek ifjú nemzedéke vállára vette, a negyvenes évek kritikusai tanulmányköteteket és cikkek százait írták munkáiról, az ötvenes évek diákjai kötelezÅ olvasmányként vizsgáztak műveibÅl középiskolákban és egyetemeken. (Manapság újabb, sokadik reneszánszát éli az USA-ban és szerte a világon - Magyarországon sajnos nem. Minden sorát, szavát, gondolatát elemzik, kommentálják. MűveibÅl divat PhD és nagydoktori disszertációkat írni. - A szerk. megj.).


Egy évtizeddel halála után Stephen Vincent Benét világosan látta maradandóságát: Nos, uraim, most már levehetik kalapjukat. Ez már nem egy élet legendája - ez a művész dicsÅsége; s azt hiszem, nem tévedek: századunk egyik legbiztosabban megalapozott hírneve Fitzgerald.

Jane Austen is a writer ruined by TV adaptation (before you all start writing letters, I know there are good ones). Despite two centuries of inclusion in the canon, there are still many (and I am afraid they are mostly men) who dismiss her as 'frivolous', 'saccharine' or 'unserious'. This means it is only worth continuing to discuss Austen with people if they either don't use any of the aforementioned adjectives or if, by the latter, they mean, she is one of the funniest writers in English (full stop). If you don't know this already, the first page of 'Persuasion' will convince you, and then her biting, satirical commentary on Georgian society will show you that far from reverently writing about it out of admiration, she irreverently lambasts it and its eccentric snobbish hierarchy (people who write her off will probably say John Oliver likes Trump because both wear suits). If you don't believe me (and even if you do), read her (and start with 'Persuasion') before you watch her.

This novel is unjustly very obscure, a fact that the new reissue from Dörlemann is hopefully helping to change. Originally published in 1926, it tells the story of unmarried auntie Lolly who, out of the blue, vacates her post as an unpaid housemaid to her brother's family, to move to an obscure village in northern England. For the first time in her life, and much to her family's consternation, Lolly does what she wants and it involves cats, midnight dances, a very peculiar village and - Satan.
Utterly charming and uplifting, the novel's lighthearted treatment of such themes as the lack of prospects for women, loneliness and ageing is borne out by Lolly's esprit and its just rewards. It's a classic of early lesbian literature and should absolutely be read more.

A short and comparatively easy-to-read British classic from 1886 about the duality of human nature. Stevenson's linguistic eloquence is a pleasure to consume!
It's admittedly slightly too late for this recommendation, but then again the Italian April is arguably more equal to the German May. An absolutely delightful holiday novel about four women escaping to a romantic Italian castle for some time to themselves - only to be literally spellbound by it. Read it for the lush Italian gardens and the irresistible spring airs - maby skim over some of the more dated romantic version of musical chairs.

In diesem französischen Klassiker versucht die Hauptfigur Emma sich aus den engen Fesseln der französischen Gesellschaft zu befreien und ein selbstbestimmtes, glückliches Leben zu führen. Flaubert gibt wie niemand vor ihm jeder Figur ihre eigene Sprache und ihren eigenen Ausdruck. Bewundert von seinen Zeitgenossen und Nachfolgern wie Sartre und Perec liegt hier einer der ersten realistischen Romane der Weltliteratur in der preisgekrönten Übersetzung von Elisabeth Edl vor. Inklusive sehr aufschlussreichen Fußnoten und Kommentaren der Übersetzerin über die Entstehung des Werks.

A classic I ran across on my neverending to-read pile and finished within a few hours. The simple writing style made it enjoyable and easy to read, even if it was first published in 1900 and the language is somewhat rigid. It becoming a classic is well deserved - though I must say I'm not interested in the volumes that follow after this first one.
