Silk, silky smooth, it was not the whole debate, because contrary to what its name inspires, Baricco's book, gender and generate dialectical on in every forum where they talk about it .
My personal experience with this book is an example of the same general confrontation of views. When I read a few years ago, I loved at all levels. When did I re-read, I found a light yogurt. What about Silk .
Formally
I love, is a fluidity in its syntax, so poetic inner sound of his prose as "white music." These chapters so short, as a kind of haiku East. So beautiful descriptions, such unique characters. So nice in general. They say they read in French is even more poetic in its original language, Italian.
The story is the story of a seduction. A married man, a passive and cowardly, discovered in a business trip to Japan for a woman of oriental traits that immediately seduces. Establishing a non-intercourse between the two, but obsessive, at least for the protagonist. Two of the most important side of the plot, the businessman and the wife of the protagonist, they suspect something. The knot is reached when, despite the war conditions in Japan, the protagonist insists on returning to travel there without having to continue with the business of importing silkworm eggs, but in fact his secret motive is to see the strange young man his thoughts. The outcome is certainly unexpected, it is the wife of the protagonist is revealed as an intervener in a plot in which a letter appears to end the anxieties of man involved. It is therefore an epic, but a matter of a romantic, intimate, almost anecdotal, a seduction in the most likely to teach us in his magnificent Baudrillard seduction of .
As thousands of readers in Europe and around the world have enjoyed and acclaimed Silk as an extraordinary book, as many have criticized as a product surface with a very careful and careless or absent content. Silk not bite, at least in the biting sense Kafka or Robert Musil, or Cortázar or McCarty. Rather strokes, and he does describe his prose as the caress of silk, it was as if you had nothing in his hands. That is the exact sensation I can describe my last reading of this book, something so subtle and light, so clear and empty. As a center of ice, cooled and not feed, not fattening. Can not be severe with Silk . Also needed this type of product, although they are more designed than written.
