As "little tribute to Georges Perec" at the end of Prose and circumstance (Anagram) Enrique Lynch makes a lot of inventory, verbi gratia: "I LIKE:. .. Stevenson ... Emily Dickinson ... Philip Larkin ... Bach ... Wallace Stevens ... eat well ... Catherine Deneuve ... Stan Laurel & Oliver Hardy ... The Rolling Stones ... Nabokov ... talk like a Colombian ... coffee ... Karen Blixen ... " " I hate ... Wagner ... Popper, Habermas ... Picasso, Mozart (with the exception of the Requiem), sport ... Don Quixote ... art critics ... popular festivals ... tenors at the Baths of Caracalla ... basketball (and less if they call it "basketball ")... neighbors ... "Perec
the taxonomist has, of course, such a list. "I like ... gardens ... freshly made pasta ... jazz, trains ... Walking through Paris ... lakes, islands, cats ... " Dislikes: " beans, watches, politicians ... hairdressers, advertising, tea ... Godard, jam, honey, bikes ... "
Perec himself is responsible, however, to establish his parentage: Sei Shonagon: Sei Shonagon not qualify, she lists and restarts. A subject raises a list simple statements ... Further, an issue almost identical results in another list, and so on ... " (Think, Sort: Gedisa) . The junior assistant -of Empress Sadako, circa year 1000 - known to posterity as the author of The Pillow Book wrote: "Whether it whatever, it does not matter, we can say that everything which is small is adorable. " (translation Pinto et al) or: "... indeed all the little things are adorable. " (Borges and Kodama), or: " Anything, if tiny, is welcome. " (Amalia Sato).
And I get to the end to Jane Bowles: "-...- simple pleasures as those obtained without being among many people ... Simple pleasures how are you baked potatoes instead of dancing, whiskey and orchestras ... " (Simple Pleasures: Anagram).
All to say that I like or is adorable thing: for small- or the last seven years, I know of no pleasure easier to stay on Saturday afternoon, all in dragonfly.
