The less we read, the greater the value of the heritage we will leave written

  • What is left for yesterday. Ana Urkiza. Alberdania, 2011 Paper 20 euros, digital 11.20 euros.
Aphorism brings with it brevity and rigor. Moreover, he would have grace and ingenuity above the likelihood, even if the truth was added by the author. The paradox would be something else. Humberto Eco distinguishes between aphorism and paradox as follows: “Aphorism, therefore, something like a maxim that can be done, right, although it resorts to acuteness, while the paradox relative a maximum false facie, only once a biased reflection, something that the author thought was true. For this reason, its sharpness lies in the hiatus between the provocative way it adopts and what the public expects”. (Therefore, aphorism is an expression that wants to convey a truth, even if it goes to the event. Paradoxically, the prima facie proposition would be false; after a deep reflection, it seems that it explains something that the author considers true. Therefore, its sharpness is based on the hiatus that occurs between the provocative way it takes and that which the public expects).

Urkiza has published in the book aphorisms loaded with sentences that have leaped many of the beliefs rooted in society: “When I head down, I see the world online,” or “Politicians never get it right. Not even when they fulfill the hypothetical pretension of

the majority”. Besides reflecting on what happens in the environment, Urkiza talks about love, perfection, gender and many other issues: “Most of the time the woman has to welcome the man as a penis,” “Start proclaiming that we

are whole oranges,” “Liftina has the power to erase the story, to make up the lie.” But in addition to aphorisms, Urkiza’s work is full of paradoxes: “Who doesn’t have a menstruation doesn’t know what a real stomach ache is; hence the wars that give the headache”, “To learn to be rich, better register before in poverty”, “For money we sell everything, even that which cannot be bought with money”. The aphorisms are not new in our environment and have appeared

without interruption. Xabier Altzibar recently published an interesting article in the journal Euskera: Eskaraz eguia (1858) by Juan Martín de Iribarren, erranas and aphorisms. Between what Hiribarrena said at the time and what Urkiza just launched, there are remarkable differences, but also similarities: the language and the vision and the truth that each gives about his time. Despite

aphorism and aphorism, it is evident that many aphorisms are written and read because they are related to context or are small reading capsules. What happens is that the readers appreciate them, even if it is a pity, because “the less we read, the greater the value of the heritage that we will leave written”.
