Chimera: John Bart

The classic romance of the pillar of American postmodernism, the author, who stood, along with K. Vonnegut, J. Heller and T. Pincon, at the origins of the tradition of Black Humor. It was for Himer that Bart received the most prestigious literary award in the United States – the National Book Prize. This triptych of variations on the topics of classical mythology – the history of Dunyuda, the sisters of the Shahrazada from the “thousand and one night”, and the Greek myths about Perseus and the Bellerophone – unfolds, as a translator, “fireworks of kalalamburs, puzzles, alliterations and allitions, cute or cute or cute or cereals, cute or sweethearts. risky jokes … “. Indeed, in the bartic space a la, the Russian nesting doll is everything connected with everything, or rather – everything is invested in everything.
