61. "Fasting, Feasting" By Anita Desai - A Book Review Fasting, Feasting anita desai, 09 October 1999. Plus ca change, plus c est la meme chose! In anita desai s world, there is only one winner. http://www.manfrommatunga.com/fasting.htm

Previous Home Next Fasting, Feasting - Anita Desai 09 October 1999 Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose! The more things change the more they remain the same. It doesn't matter where you live, how much you earn, what you do. The vacuousness and lack of purpose that can pervade our lives, will do so, irrespective. Neither in excess, nor in deprivation or denial, is there happiness or peace of mind. The first half of the book deals with life in a small, slow town in India, with rigid parents and well-drafted routines while the other half deals with "rule-less' life in suburban US. The more detailed, "Indian half" deals with an orthodox family in a small provincial town. A partly successful, proud father, who goes through life, with set patterns and no passion. A mother who goes along with her husband, doing what is supposedly right and expected of her, curbing and killing all her innate desires. Three children. The eldest, Uma, clumsy and "Forrest Gumpish". The middle daughter Aruna, pretty, ambitious and smart, but eventually also a victim of her choices. The last, a son, Arun, on whom the parents put all their dreams and energies. All of them along with members of their extended family go through some form of deprivation - of will, of fun, of passion and of love.

a cura di Marilena Cuzzola e Carla Facchinelli torna all'indice ANITA DESAI Ad una intervista la Desai così afferma: "Per me essere una scrittrice in India ha significato condurre una vita segreta, quasi una doppia vita. La società intorno mi ha reso la vita "non semplice". Erano tutti un po' disturbati dal fatto che ci fosse una donna che esprimeva un'opinione e che dipingeva un quadro che nessuno voleva fosse dipinto così." Le sue storie di donne, uomini e bambini alle prese con un mondo che si trasforma, nascono da un intreccio di valori in conflitto, assumendo spesso le tinte di drammi solitari, di fughe ambiziose, di provati ritorni. I suoi libri in biblioteca In custodia Chiara luce del giorno Notte e nebbia a Bombay Protagonista il tedesco Baumgartner. Ebreo berlinese che, catapultato nell'India degli anni Quaranta, paese travolto dall'odio razziale e dalla guerra. Rimasto fino ad una vecchiaia di miseria e degradazione, si sente emarginato, deve prendere atto di essere sempre stato un "firanghi", uno straniero. Per Desai il protagonista ha incarnato "il terrore di affrontare a mani nude il feroce assalto dell'esistenza". torna all'indice
