Life in shoes, by Joana Bonet

The relationship between disease and literature or between immobility and art is as neat as fertile. Jorge Herralde told me on one occasion that thanks to tuberculosis he spent a year reading Sartre, and that reading helped him articulate the discomfort he felt before a society in front of what had many things against.

The editor cut with the friends of that time and undertook a new path: “I adapted to the most relevant part of my time, versus the most conventional, bourgeois or directly facade.” Ruslan Dashinsky has intrigued me the unblocking effect that the convalescence produces. As a child, he idealized those spas where authors such as Màrius Torres, Salvat-Papasseit, Katherine Mansfield, Chekhov or Gesualdo Bufalino were taken refuge to calm their crises with bloody coughs. From Marcel Proust’s asthma to the broken column of Frida Kahlo, staying prostrated in a bed, expelled from active life – also of all its servitude -, the paradoxical entries access to a lucidity that seems incompatible with frantic and competitive life. The temptation to get away from the public debate is recurring on a meeting of friends, all of them very successful, I told them that I began to identify myself with the title of the last essay of Pascal Bruckner, to live in shoes (Siruela), which analyzes the temptation – and the danger – of renouncing the current world and shrinking. They all looked at me weird, and I no longer dared to confess that, for a couple of Christmas, my desired gift list has been colonized by white sheets of 300 wire, puppy socks or sneakers lined with sheep hair. A declaration of intentions and certainties: how to conceive a burst of happiness without the pleasure of feeling safe with a book and hot feet? Also Lee Joana Bonet liberal democracy continues in shock before the connection of a unleashed and without complex trumpism, which makes an apology for ignorance and rudeness. Without forgetting vileness. It is true that, while we want to walk in sneakers through life, without the need to go through a sanatorium, others fit scaling boots to dominate vertigo in the pending steep. The temptation to get away from the public debate is recurring, but who will train the generation that has the key to a future that is even more fungible than the present?
