Cal començar l'any de la millor manera possible! I la tria imbatible (César Aira + Antonio Vivaldi) enguany és especular i espectacular 🤗
Gairebé 20 anys després del primer Stabat Mater de Vivaldi (amb Chiara Banchini i l'Ensemble 415) Andreas Scholl hi torna amb Alessandro Tampieri i l'Accademia Bizantina.
Deu anys després de Continuación de ideas diversas, César Aira continua ara amb Ideas diversas.
Som-hi? Som-hi!

"César Aira’s unreal magic: how the eccentric author took over Latin American literature."
He has published more than 100 novels, gives his work away, and his surrealist books have a massive cult following. Now Argentina’s favourite rule-breaker is tipped for the Nobel prize.
Argentine writer César Aira follows neither the rules of literature nor of literary fame. His work has been translated into 37 languages, Patti Smith says he's one of her favorite authors and he's been named as a likely future Nobel Prize laureate. Yet he lives quietly in Buenos Aires and lets small presses publish his books for free. He rarely gives interviews, but made an exception for Alejandro Chacoff, who spoke to him for The Dial. [Translated by Jessica Sequeira].

Book 1: “The Famous Magician” by #CésarAira.
Originally written in 2013, this meta novella asks the author to choose between Magic and Literature. Are the two, in fact, the same? Or is Magic a transcendence of Literature? A quick, fun read that’s sitting with me the more I turn it over in my head.
