Yellow Dog

Nerve intervista Martin Amis sul sesso e la pornografia, dopo che da qualche mese è uscito il suo ultimo libro, Yellow Dog (non mi sembra se ne sia parlato molto qui da noi, ad ogni modo le recensioni non sono state entusiastiche).

L’intervista, come ci si poteva attendere, non è roba per palati fini so, be warned:

In Yellow Dog, there’s a great deal of temptation — sexual, violent and otherwise. And it’s shown up before, in Money, most notably, but also in Success. It’s always around. What’s the temptation issue for you?
I like it. I like to create women characters who really do understand male sexuality and male sentimentality and all the rest, and who make the temptation as ferocious as possible. But it all comes under the heading of — and this is what I’ve always been writing about — masculinity and what a paradoxical state it is. It’s a constant trade-off, and not with the conscious mind. The real paradox about masculinity is that it rests on potency and the ability to have an erection, and now that that’s chemically available, and — though no one’s whispered a word of it yet — what that will do to masculinity is truly revolutionary.

Rivoluzionario? Davvero? (Faccio finta di aver capito, per darmi un tono). :-)

Rivoluzionario, un miracolo dell’idraulica ;-) (l’ho detto che il libro non ha avuto grandi recensioni, eh).
