Laddar... Infinity: The Story of a Moment (2012)av Gabriel Josipovici
   Ingen/inga Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken.  bringbackbooks | Jun 16, 2020 |   “Non sminuite il senso di ciò che non comprendete.” I cannot help feeling there is a message here for both MJ and me. My post on this last week was not only flippant, but premature. The rest of this straight review is here: https://alittleteaalittlechat.wordpress.com/2015/11/11/another-take-on-infinity-... ----------------- It may be 2075. Rumours about MJ are rife. One has it that he is dead. Another that he has simply tired of the world and sits alone in a castle somewhere writing reviews he shows no one. And yet another that none of this is more than an experimental work in which he has given his characters the illusion of choice. In this one, we are not the future but the present set in a futuristic context of false consciousness. We are no more than a literary trick. X, a journalist, or somebody who believes he is a journalist, interviews MJ’s old servant. Or not. – He liked Josipovici? – Yes, sir, he did. – The books? He talked of them? – All the time, sir. – Give me an example. – Well, sir. He liked to sit in Peter’s Yard, he could sit for long periods sipping a cup of tea and eating a rock of a scone crumb by crumb. It was cheaper than paying for heating and so forth at home. – The Scottish mentality then? – I suppose you could say that, yes. – He paid for you too? – I paid for myself. Out of the wages he said he would pay me. – Give me an example of his talking about Josipovici. Rest is here: https://alittleteaalittlechat.wordpress.com/2015/11/06/infinity-the-story-of-a-m...

In the course of a single extensive interview, this novel recounts the colorful life of a wealthy, eccentric Italian composer through multiple layers of unreality. As Massimo recalls what his master, Tancredo Pavone, told him about his life, he often repeats Pavone’s outrageous opinions on everything from the current state of the world to the inner life of each musical note. Eventually, it becomes comically clear that not only does Pavone not always distinguish between memory and imagination, but also that Massimo does not always understand what it is he is repeating. A moving portrait of a close bond between two people from utterly different social spheres, this narrative is an insightful look into the world of a composer and the process of artistic creation.
