Eu gostava dessa teimosia. A ideia de que, se você queria alguma coisa coisa impossível, você conseguia desde que não desistisse.

Introduction

I like the end of the world. Okay, let me rephrase that slightly. I like reading about the end of the world and watching movies based on the end of the world. Or movies and books based on the opposite of utopias. Dystopias. Dystopias are my lifeblood. I just love reading about worlds so different from our own (The Giver by Lois Lowry) that have just a small ring of truth about them (Jennifer Government by Max Barry).

And some that have more than a ring of truth - ones that you look outside your window and realise are happening before your eyes (1984 by George Orwell). I plan on using this blog as part review part real world analysis.

Thank you for coming along on the ride. "That was when they suspended the Constitution. They said it would be temporary. There wasn't even any rioting in the streets. People stayed home at night, watching television, looking for some direction. There wasn't even an enemy you could put your finger on." The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

“I’m not used to people who don’t talk,” she said. “It’s honestly freaking me out.” “You think I need to say something to make it real.” “Yes, that’s exactly what I think.” ….But later she thought about what he had said. About not needing to say something to make it real…So, yes, words did make things real, in at least one important way. But they were also just symbols. They were labels, not the things they labeled. You didn’t need words to feel. She decided he had a point. But it felt so strange.

LEXICON by Max Barry

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will...

kill me.

If Steven Hall (Raw Shark Texts) and Dave Eggars (The Circle) conceived a book baby, and if it were raised by Vanessa Vaselka (Zazen) and babysat alternately by Gabrielle Zevin (The Storied Life...) and Alena Graedon (The Word Exchange), that book would grow up to be LEXICON.

I'll admit that I put down the book after reading a few pages because I felt a little like I had joined a conversation that had started already. But then realized that my go-to-book-recommendation-friend gave it the green light, so it must be amazing, and of course, she was right.

Barry is one of those authors (like those listed above) who has a love affair with language, and as a result, shares it generously with his readers.

In LEXICON, an entire town has been mysteriously decimated - and anyone who enters dies. Due to a word.

Is it magic? Maybe.

But more it's the power to manipulate, to suggest, to insinuate. How far can that go?

Well, I got you to read to the end of this, didn't I?

“I don't play the lottery. I don't care what my horoscope says. I think most things about the world could be improved if people thought more about what they're doing. When someone gets upset with their computer, I tend to side with the computer. I think art is overrated, and bridges are underrated. In fact, I don't understand why bridges aren't art. It seems to me they're penalized for having a use. If I make a bridge that ends in midair, that's a sculpture. But put it between two landmasses and let it ferry two hundred thousand cars per day and it's infrastructure. That makes no sense.”

Bought @neilhimself 's & @maxbarry 's new books tonight - hardcover - at a book store - on the perhaps romantic notion that doing it now in that format would help two of my favorite authors. Plus on the off chance I could ever get an autograph. So now I have my summer reading started. How about you? #ocean #lexicon
