Carvalho, Galera, os livros e o mercado

Sylvia Colombo

O escritor carioca Bernardo Carvalho lançou críticas à elite brasileira ao comentar o tamanho do mercado leitor do país, nesta noite, na Feira do Livro de Guadalajara, no México. O autor de “Mongólia” e “Nove Noites” disse que os ricos brasileiros eram ignorantes e que não podiam ser comparados com os ricos norte-americanos, que mandam seus filhos a Harvard e os estimulam a engajar-se em trabalhos beneficentes.

Carvalho opunha-se às colocações do compatriota Daniel Galera (“Mãos de Cavalo”), que avaliou o mercado brasileiro como “bom”. “Não consigo entender onde vão parar os livros. Publica-se muito no Brasil, mas quem lê é uma parte muito pequena da classe média. Os ricos não leem, os pobres não leem. Não é um país de leitores. Eu não sei pra quem se publica livros no Brasil”, disse Carvalho.

Os dois escritores participaram de uma das mesas da seção “Destinação Brasil”, dedicada à literatura brasileira. Também faziam parte do debate a carioca Tatiana Salem Levy e o paulistano Ferréz. O escritor do Capão Redondo disse que as editoras brasileiras escondem o tamanho de seus encalhes. “Você pode conhecer a sala de massagens da sua editora, nunca vai conhecer o estoque, eles não mostram.”

Mostrando pouco conhecimento da obra dos brasileiros, o moderador Benito Taibo fez apenas perguntas genéricas sobre o ofício de escritor e o mercado. Carvalho irritou-se com o nível baixo da discussão. À pergunta: “A literatura pode ser uma tábua de salvação?”, respondeu que se incomodava muito com a função edificante com a qual se concebe a literatura nos dias de hoje. “Quando comecei não era assim, a literatura era algo que incomodava, que provocava, não existia para salvar ninguém. Não sou padre, não quero ser padre, e a literatura não é uma igreja”.

Galera reclamou da imprensa cultural brasileira e da ausência de boa crítica literária nos jornais. “Existe só a notícia do lançamento de um livro, depois quem sabe uma resenha acadêmica e engessada. A boa resenha para ajudar o leitor médio, como existe na imprensa norte-americana, não existe no Brasil e eu sinto falta”, declarou o gaúcho.

Também foi abordada a dificuldade de trânsito de obras entre países latino-americanos. Os brasileiros declararam não conhecer, de um modo geral, os novos escritores mexicanos. O moderador Taibo reforçou que a culpa é de editores espanhóis que compram direitos de obras e depois decidem onde vão lançar. Carvalho contou que teve uma experiência assim com um editor espanhol, e que seu livro nunca saiu, porque ele alegara que “literatura brasileira não interessa”.

Ferréz, que está sendo publicado agora na Argentina e no México, elogiou o trabalho de editoras independentes que fazem um trabalho artesanal e específico, e se mostram interessadas pela produção contemporânea. Seu “Manual Prático do Ódio” está saindo por uma editora pequena de Oaxaca.

A propósito do tamanho da feira e da quantidade de títulos publicados para o mercado hispano-americano, Carvalho se mostrou surpreso: “Eu não conheço nada! E olha que me considero um bom leitor”.

  4. We doubt here is the spot due to, yet… I have trouble with the latest the laws of copyright, and I believe that the best way our own latest approach to govt utilizes lobbying is a root cause of it. Our laws and regulations do not similarly secure every person, many people solely guard often the hobbies of the loaded number of. Can there be certainly not a way to switch the way in which the drinks are? What exactly percent in the population might be beat up just before real transform may be pushed to occur? All of our legal guidelines have been contorted in addition to sprained to profit a prosperous fraction. Example: I’m any terrain inspector. Our neighbors worked to carry out research for folks intended for 40 years. We now have always wager really competitively often losing profits to obtain job opportunities wishing which we would make our earnings by having often the information so that we’d find the benefit future surveys and also having the ability to do all of them effortlessly by only modernizing exactly what details we all by now got in document. This same system of lawmaking that is definitely shielding the actual RIAA is actually allowing for it market as well as others that were collecting duplicates of your reviews to help disperse these to persons accepting affidavits for closings using our own work for their profit and also removing from the total people coming from being profitable for our own perspire labour and also work. What troubles myself most about this is the fact that, 1 day, we will see case on a customer survey many of us performed many years ago, that is intended for a new in the future final versus the may as well as the tennis courts may edge versus us for the employment most of us didn’t even get paid for. Toy trucks created a lot of people in govt requesting assistance in some way only to get inerte web template responses or any answer back in any respect. Romans had this considerably better 2050 in years past. Good all of us are now living in any democracy, but We dread it is not even a republic. We votes to place a team of Republicans as well as Democrats with government, only to include each of our rules composed in addition to reformed to benefit some sort of wealthy small section, simply by lobbyists funded simply by and also representing a loaded number of. This particular exact same administration we selected as for applies a low main concern about the tendencies from the bulk, inside the idea that it loaded not many are much more prudent and/or far more worthwhile compared to the vast majority. I’m afraid our govt happens to be many a great Aristocracy.

  14. Hands down, Apple’s application store wins by a mile. It really is a large assortment of all kinds of applications vs a relatively unfortunate selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has ideas, specially in the realm of video games, but I’m not certain I’d want to bet on the long term if this factor is essential to you. The iPod is a much far better option in that scenario.

  19. Thanks for sharing superb informations. Your site is very cool. I’m impressed by the details that you’ve on this site. It reveals how nicely you perceive this subject.
