Literatura de Izquierda

Damian Tabarovsky launches a broadside against the state of modern Argentinean literary culture in this harsh, belligerent critique. There are few the author doesn t take to task; he rails against the market and academic institutions for concerning themselves only with profit and against authors of supposedly high literature who have abandoned experimentation in search of a greater audience. What Tabarovsky proposes instead is a type of literature that refuses to kowtow to standard conventions of language, plot, and genreliterature that is written with no particular reader in mind, that is ignorant of critique or other literature, that pushes the boundaries of aesthetics, syntax, raison d etre. And while the individuals and institutions Tabarovsky singles out are native to Argentina, his diatribe might well be read as a criticism of the current state of literature in any number of countries.

Damian Tabarovsky presenta una invectiva contra la actual cultura literaria argentina en esta critica acida y beligerante. Hay pocos que el autor no reprocha; ataca al mercado y a la academia por ocuparse unicamente de las ganancias y a los autores de literatura culta por abandonar la experimentacion en busca de un publico mas amplio. Lo que propone Tabarovsky es un tipo de literatura que se rehuse doblegarse ante las convenciones de lenguaje, argumento o generoliteratura que se escribe sin tomar en cuenta algun publico, la critica u otra literatura, que amplia los limites de la estetica, de la sintaxis ydel proposito. Y aunque los individuos y las instituciones que Tabarovsky senala son propios de la Argentina, su diatriba se podria interpretar como una critica del estado de la literatura en varios paises."
