Eros és l'escriptura. La literatura com a estímul vital

Eros is writing. Literature as a vital incentive is a compilation of literary criticism that Atoni Gómez has built during fifteen years of dedication to writing about books and authors in magazines and Valencian newspapers. With the concision of journalist with a vocation to serve the reader and the aesthetic implication of a poet, the author presents a series of diverse books that create a heterogeneous panorama of the letters in the last years. In these live: Petrarca, Ausiàs March, Jordi de Sant Jordi, Roís de Corella…; translation of foreign works: Bohumil Hrabal, Seamus Heany, Isidore Ducasse, Roberto Calasso, Thomas Bernhard, Robert Desnos, René Crevel, Goliarda Sapienza, Elizabeth Smart…; contemporary authors: Ferran Torrent, Afons Cervera, Josep Piera, Enrique Vila-Matas, Manuel Vázquez Matalbán, Javier Tomeo…. The author pays special attention to the contemporary poetry written in Valencia through poets like Marc Granell, Lluís Roda, Teresa Pascual, Manel Rodríguez-Castelló, Miquel Martínez, Miguel Mas, Francisco Salinas, José Saborit, Maria Josep Escrivà, Isidre Martínez Marzo, Manel Gracia Grau, Antoni Ferrer I Juli Capella, among others. What gives these compilation a specific value is its commitment with the writings as a space of seduction where authors, critics and reader coexist to share with joyful complicity the party of freedom that goes implicitly with good literature.
