[rozdarte-serce]

Moja historia jest moją historią, nawet jeżeli to nudna, czarna, ślepa, głupia i nieszczęsna historia, nie znająca swojego znaczenia i swoich wielu możliwych, niewykorzystanych radosnych wariantów. Ja jestem ja

John Maxwell Coetzee, W sercu kraju

„Samobójstwo to najbardziej literacka z przygód, pod tym względem przerasta nawet morderstwo.“

Per un uomo della sua età, cinquantadue anni, divorziato, gli sembra di avere risolto il problema del sesso piuttosto bene. Il giovedì pomeriggio va in macchina a Green Point. Alle due in punto preme il campanello all'ingresso di Windsor Mansions, dice il suo nome ed entra. Sulla porta del n. 113 lo aspetta Soraya.

John Maxwell Coetzee

"Siamo Circondati "

Siamo circondati da un’impresa di degradazione, crudeltà e sterminio che può rivaleggiare con ciò di cui è stato capace il Terzo Reich, anzi, può farlo apparire poca cosa al confronto, poiché la nostra è un’impresa senza fine, capace di autorigenerazione, pronta a mettere incessantemente al mondo conigli, topi, polli e bestiame con il solo obiettivo di ammazzarli.

"Ne kadar yorgunum anlatamam sana. Kastettiğim yorgunluk yaşamımın parçası haline geldi. Yaptığım her şeye, söylediğim her söze bulaşan bir boya gibi. Homeros'un deyimiyle çözülmüş hissediyorum kendimi."

John Maxwell Coetzee | Yavaş Adam

"Tokarczuk is a leftist, an atheist, and a feminist. She has been criticized by some nationalist groups in Poland as unpatriotic, anti-Christian and a promoter of eco-terrorism. She has denied the allegations, has described herself as a 'true patriot' and said that groups criticizing her are xenophobic and damage Poland's international reputation.

In 2015, after the publication of The Books of Jacob, Tokarczuk was criticized by the Nowa Ruda Patriots association, who demanded that the town's council revoke the writer's honorary citizenship of Nowa Ruda because, as the association claimed, she had tarnished the good name of the Polish nation. Those people's postulate was supported by Senator Waldemar Bonkowski of the Law and Justice Party, according to whom Tokarczuk's literary output and public statements are in 'absolute contradiction to the assumptions of the Polish historical politics.' Tokarczuk asserted that she is the true patriot, not the people and groups who criticize her, and whose alleged xenophobic and racist attitudes and actions are harmful to Poland and its image abroad.

In 2020, she was one of the signatories alongside other prominent writers such as Margaret Atwood, John Banville and John Maxwell Coetzee of an open letter addressed to the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, urging the European Union to 'to take immediate steps to defend core European values – equality, non-discrimination, respect for minorities – which are being blatantly violated in Poland' and appealing to the Polish government to stop targeting sexual minorities and to withdraw support from organizations promoting homophobia."

[5/21, Today’s Wordle was Scrap]

Have you ever read a paper, article, or book which left you thinking “I don’t think I know enough to agree with this, and it might be too much work to change my worldview?” For some, a work that can challenge one’s worldview can be a monumental, untouchable thing, discussing the meaning of existence or something similarly contested. As for myself? It was simply the question of the consumption of meat, or more specifically, industrial meat farming. 

The text that spurred this incessant train of thought is authored by John Maxwell Coetzee (I speak specifically of “The Lives of Animals”). He was born in South Africa, which has no shortage of its usage of meat within the cultural cuisine. Yet, like many others, Coetzee is a vegetarian. Maybe it was his research on industrial meat production that spurred him away from it, or maybe he just didn’t like the taste. One thing remains true however, his arguments against justifying the end of animal life on a mass industrial scale do unnerve me, mainly due to how quickly I agreed with him.

I know, it might sound silly to consider such a thing as eating habits capable of “changing the way you view the world”. Yet it struck me in such a way that left me playing with my food, staring at the bowl of Thai Green Curry i had made, wondering if the aromatic chicken fat that floats to the top was truly necessary for the experience. Is it correct, or even morally viable, to justify farming other species for the sake of our own species’ enjoyment? Probably not. If a sentient chicken who was capable of speech walked up to me and demanded to know why I eat chicken, I likely would not have any answer. Not a satisfying one, anyway.

Maybe I’ll try something vegetarian tomorrow.

Io stesso allora non dubitavo che in qualunque momento chiunque di noi, uomo, donna, bambino, forse anche il povero ronzino legato alla ruota del mulino, chiunque sapesse cosa era giusto. Tutte le creature vengono al mondo con dentro la memoria della giustizia.
