Ez gara mordo bat, onartu beharra dugu. Baina salbuespen ohoragarri gutxi batzuk landa –oro emakumezkoak, bidenabar– Lubaki bandaren belaunaldiaren ondorengo idazle ustekook –1980etan jaiotakook edo–, alferkeriaz gabiltza enpo. Euskal literaturaren Autobusa da gurea, kontroletik at geratzeko arriskuan beti. Errepidea aldeko dugula azeleratzen dugunetakoak gara. Pentsa, Sautrelan erreportajea egin zuten euskal literaturaren azken boladako balizko sikutasunaren gainean, Autobusa jopuntuan. Autobusa, also known as Barrebusa.

Kexan hasteko goizegi dela iruditzen bazaizu, irakurle, egizu kontu badirela urte batzuk dagoeneko gutariko zaharrenei Gazte Txartela kendu zietela, eta gainera, dakizunez, euskal literaturan, 25 urtetik gorako edonor da automatikoki beterano. Errazena litzateke literatur sistemaren inguruan kexari ematea; Jon Kortazar, Mari Jose Olaziregi, Bernardo Atxaga eta are CIAren konplota salatzea. Euskadi saririk jaso ez dugula gogoraraztea –azken batean, Tropelekoei ongi atera zitzaien jokaldia–, ezta Espainiako Sari Nazionalik ere –eman diezagutela lehenik; gero egingo diogu, nola ez, uko–. Errazena litzateke, bada, hori guztia, baina ez gaitezen engaina, Miracruzeko gainean ere deskolgatuta geratzearen ardura gurea baino ez da.

Gurea baita bi poema liburu eskas argitaratuta zerbait egin dugula uste dugunon belaunaldia. Blog batean erantzun bat utzi eta luze gabe deituko dizute komunikabideren batetik ea zutabe bat idazteko prest zauden galdezka, edo okerragoa dena, ea kritikagintzan hasi nahi duzun. Angel Errok, zeina 1978koa izanagatik derrepentean belaunaldiratu dugun hari baimenik eskatu gabe, esan du berriki poeten artean halako lehia ezkutu bat nagusitu dela ea nork uzten duen liburu batetik hurrengora tarterik handiena. Hori, Autobusean, praktika orokortua da. Erreguka ibiltzea da, ezbairik gabe, Autobusaren sedukzio forma behinena.

Baditugu, hala, pare bat txikikeriarekin beren burua idazletzat jotzen dutenak, baina bada beste kasta oraindik erradikalagorik ere. Horiexek dira Aritz Galarraga eta Gorka Bereziartua lako obrarik gabeko idazleak. Abangoardietako ideal zaharra berreskuratzen duten artistak dira, nonbait; obraren objektu izaera mespretxatuz, artea bizitzara, eguneroko praktikara –ezerezera alegia– eramatearen premia dute aldarrikatzen. Ismoak aspaldi joan zirelarik, historiako azkenekoa besarkatzen dute: gantzarainismoa. Ezagun da, ostera, abangoardia izan dela historikoki alferkeriaren alibi sotilenetako bat.

Grabeena, halere, zera da, izurritea are idazle gazteagoengana ere iritsi dela, Peter Ostolazaren Gure belaunaldiaz testua testigu, non halakoak irakurtzen ahal diren: “Pare bat esaldi ekibokatu papereratzea baino isiltasunaren perfekzioa nahiago dugu aukeran, oi guk, kritikatuko, gaitzetsiko, akaso egurtuko gaituzten beldur garenok.”

Halaxe gabiltza. Ez dago zalantzarik, euskal literaturaren etorkizuna alfer hauen guztien eskuetan uztea temeritate hutsa baizik ez da. Arduragabekeria demasekoa. Ez etorri gero lantuka bertsolariek tostada konfitura eta guzti jan dizuetela eta. Noiz utziko dituzue nagikeriak, aitzakiak? Noiz hasiko zarete behingoz taxuzko zerbait idazten (esan nahi baita, nobelatzar bat, ipuin bilduma gotor bat?). Noiz utziko duzue amaren altzoa? Noiz ipiniko zarete lanean? Noiz utziko diozue twittatzeari?
