How to Tell "Me"

Hodien metafisika. Amelie Nothomb. Itzultzailea: Garazi Arrula Ruiz. Igela, 2017

We will look from three points of view the book Amelie Nothomben of metaphysics of tubes that he has just brought to the Basque Country Garazi Arrula Ruiz: from the writer, reader and person.

From the writer's perspective, how would you complement your autobiography? Would you use the autofication that is red alive and that has advantages and disadvantages in our literary system? From when would you start to unravel your lives?

In this book, the author tells us the first three years of his life through self-fication. From being a tube (a mere fluid filter) brings to these pages the time of the beginnings of a person (awakening of the senses and the body and first discoveries and thoughts). This makes him jump from third person to first person and interspersing relevant facts and reflections.

From the reader's point of view, what do we ask of a book? An opportunity to know other visions and ways of life? Shake our minds and our bodies? A way to escape from everyday life?

The protagonist is the daughter of a Belgian consul born in Japan and competes for the culture of two peoples: Tintín’s comic book, singer No, will also have his space some passages of history or how the look of a newborn perceives the seasons with humor as the main resource.

From the point of view of the person, of the social role that we would call him citizen or citizen, what makes us “I”? How did we become “me”? And how do we stop being “me”?

The main character who is taking his first steps will know life and death, and will explain to us with his own words. Through the Christian religion or the philosophies of the West and East, we will be infected by the fascination that the things he discovers give him. A boy or girl who considers himself a god tells us the principal laws of the universe.

The crudeness of the original versions of classical tales reveals to us the soul, the void and the ideas of the tunnel that might have belonged to Oteiza at the beginning of the existence of a being. Likewise, the narrative voice will demystify childhood. Finally, we recommend that you not miss this third opportunity to read the work of this author in Basque.
