Why Novocaine Benzocaine
I'm back here, but not bent from the strain broken, like a Russian heroine.
Frightened by the new business needs, I spent evenings looking astonished to find some glimmer of intelligence in a brain that seems to be overshadowed, mixing work and life, and especially with myself. It sometimes happens to believe to be just what you are doing the daily eight hours sitting in front of a monitor and if for any reason something seems to go wrong during those fateful office hours, you tend to look crooked.
This happened to me in these luuuungheee weeks and this is not to be entirely justified in what I am about to confess, but I hope someone can understand me: I am back damn with my reading! While
lever is preparing to face the Demons, I am beginning to nibble again Chekhov!
After I sprinkled ashes on their heads, however, I intend to raise his head again and go back to paint my feelings on this blog, which reminds me that not only frustrations working man lives!
So we start from Anton (although it is now a friend of leverage because it can not be mine?).
Surprise and delight: I like it!
These stories are hilarious, cynical and full of irony so subtle that stimulate my appetite of readers.
pages run fast, smoothly and without sleep.
I love the mastery of language and witty descriptions:
" The shadow of the room, the Swiss figures on the mats of the window, the geraniums, the thin slices of salami on the flats, they looked naive sentimentality of a boarding-school girls from ..."
by Master
Have you ever approached slices of salami to the boarders sentimental?? Genius!!
Furthermore, the characters are real, everyday, perfectly anti-heroic; Chekhov describes us with a disenchanted eye
captures the detail and shows it as in a mirror which reflects the same weaknesses and our own hypocrisy, all taken in our daily Fiction.
"When the princess saw disturbed, misunderstood, made a sign to offenses, and not know what to say or do, he used to cry. "
by Princess
of us women has not been at least once a princess?
Or again:
" And he was in mind that, probably, the very nature has given man this right to lie, because even the painful moments of tension that he was able to hold the secrets of his nest ... There is no family that does not have its joys and sorrows, but for how great they are, it is difficult to see them eye to a stranger: they are a secret. "
from Ugly Characters
We are all, therefore , some good players in our lives, subject to the shape and ready to hide all the darkness that surrounds us behind a "smile to the face" ?
ready to return tomorrow morning to smile again!
