Een downbeat privédetective met een neiging tot wegdromen wordt ingehuurd voor louche zaak. Niet volledig geslaagd, maar evengoed grappig en prima basis voor een filmproject. ( ) Un privé à Babylone, c'est un polar, mais c'est surtout un roman d'imagination, celle débridée de Brautigan qui, comme le Vian de l'Automne à Pékin, se permet des envolées qui pourraient s'approcher de la forme poétique, qui jongle avec une réalité près de l'absurde et de la déchéance et s'aventure du côté du rêve et de Babylone plus souvent qu'à son tour. C.Card, le privé en question, en est un qui parcourt sa vie en la ratant du mieux qu'il peut (sa mère en est assurée). Il habite un taudis pour lequel il doit plusieurs mois de retard, son .38 n'a plus de balles, il n'a plus d'argent pour se nourrir, mais ce soir, il a un rendez-vous avec un client alors tous les rêves sont permis. «À mon avis, l'une des raisons pour lesquelles je n'ai jamais fait un bon détective privé c'est que je passe trop de temps à Babylone.» [R.B.] «Enfin, toujours est-il que c'est comme ça que ça se passe depuis huit ans, depuis 1934, date à laquelle j'ai commencé à penser à Babylone. »[R.B.] «Ses mains étaient si douces qu'on aurait dit des cygnes qui faisaient l'amour par une nuit de pleine lune.» [R.B.] Quelle douce lecture. Je vous souhaite de découvrir vous aussi le Babylone de Brautigan. [http://rivesderives.blogspot.ca/2016/12/un-prive-babylone-richard-brautigan.html] La trama è pressoche' inesistente: davvero poche cose allungate per fare di un racconto un romanzo. L'aggiunta di un mondo lontano nel passato nel quale il protagonista proietta i suoi desideri non salva questo testo dalla dimenticanza. Alcune buone metafore e battute, che ricordano bene Lansdale. Bella l'idea di una fine sospesa. هر کسی واسه خودش رویایی داره که شاید بشه گفت به امید اون زندهس هر چند سعی میکنه که پنهانش کنه و به بقیه بروز نده و در مواردی تمام سعی خودشو میکنه تا فراموشش کنه و نمیتونه! در رویای بابل ریچارد براتیگان با نثر زیبای خودش تمام حس درونی این رویا رو به تصویر میکشه اینکه شخصیت داستان در اکثر مواقع در رویای خودش به سر میبره و حتی حضور در رویای بابل رو به زندگی واقعی ترجیح میده و در مواقعی تمام تلاشش رو میکنه تا رویاش رو هرچند به صورت موقتی فراموش کنه و به زندگی واقعی برگرده که البته ناکام میمونه به هر صورت توصیه میکنم خوندن کتاب رو به هر کسی که رویایی تو سرش داره! one of the more focused stories i've read of brautigan's. it's sort of hard to really pinpoint a main plot in brautigan's work. it's so 'out there' it's an exercise just to experience it at times, never mind try to figure it out! however, this novel is basically about the life of a private detective with the misfortune of being unable to stop himself from daydreaming. i enjoyed it. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
It is early 1942. You are in San Francisco, and you need a private eye. Sam Spade is rumored to be in Istanbul. The Continental Op has been drafted and is a sergeant in the Aleutians. Philip Marlowe is up at Little Fawn Lake investigating the disappearance of Mrs. Derace Kingsley. Lew Archer is in the army. Who's left? Nobody but C. Card. You haven't heard of C. Card? That's all right. Nobody has. When you hire C. Card, the hero of Richard Brautigan's eighth novel, you have scraped the bottom of the private-eye barrel. But you won't be bored. No, indeed. Because when C. Card finds some bullets for his gun, you will be in for some fast, funny, slam-bang private eye adventures. Unless of course C. Card starts dreaming of Babylon. If C. Card starts dreaming of Babylon, all bets are off. Not since Trout Fishing in America has Brautigan so successfully combined his wild sense of humor with the incredible poetic imagination he is rightfully famous for around the world. The adventures of seedy, not-too-bright C. Card, as he carefully wends his way between fantasy and reality, Babylon and San Francisco, are a delight to both the mind and the heart.
