God of The Rain and of Death

Article Summary by: LucEmille    

Original Author: Jorge Mautner
In the foreword PanAmérica, Caetano (that i not properly an authority in literature) he/she says that the text owes plenty
to God of the Rain and of the Death: He echoed, it i true. the I cam to see later--, God of the Rain and of the Death, of Jorge Mautner. In fact, that book of Mautner offered inspiration is the lot of what there i in PanAmérica: but José Agrippino seems to have chosen one of the voices of God of the Rain. that less lyrical one, that in that the tones of the compassion and of the Christian sweetness (the well the the aspects of the brasilidade") they don't enter the harmonic. and he clinged to her, doing the clean object of his/her book, without porosity (VELOSO, 2001, p. 6) the text of Mautner was written in third person, different from the one of Agrippino (always in first person).
The text begins talking about her, the woman with whom the him anonym dialogued. Repetitions that remind the presents in PanAmérica exist, aiming at to produce the stylistic effect: cam. (MAUTNER, 1962, p.7)
Maybe it linked voice to the violence and the destruction the such merciless voice: it was everything destroyed and it i wonderful we to contemplate something destroyed. The fields were burned and the vegetables had died and the red and brutal earth if it showed with pride" (MAUTNER, 1962, p.18). In the text of Mautner, the repetitions would be to compose the style. They don't seem to be associated to Andy Warhol's work, just the the one of Agrippino. An example of the common constructions in the style of Mautner": THE sun was sad but who i sadder than the sun i the rain. And the sun went being alone sad that it began to rain." (MAUTNER, 1962, p.31) In certain moment, just the in Agrippino, the characters plows not nominated": I greet you girl of the developed breasts and rich boy. We will be maybe friends. I greet you also painter primitivista. It have been the long team that we don't see" each other (MAUTNER, 1962, p.35). I notice that Maunter referred to black characters": They were in silence. The forty year-old black looking attn Jorge and the black of twenty and few years also looking attn Jorge and Jorge looking attn the two" (MAUTNER, 1962, p.45). I removed, goes comparison effect, the passage of PanAmérica that referred to the blacks": I left the room saying goodbye to the numerous family and I went to the bottom of the back yard, where it was the fifteen year-old girl, and when it approximated saw myself singer Frank Sinatra buttoning the pants and greeting me serious. Frank Sinatra should be making sex with the girl, and I thought about going first to the toilet and later to arise on top of the fifteen year-old girl, that was already there of open legs. I inputted in the narrow toilet and the black that it lived in the toilet left" (PAULA, 2001, p.239). Writing in the team of the concrete poetry, with all his/her formal concern, Mautner reflects the certain height: (Something makes to write me and to beat the keys of the machine. It i an addiction, I am chewer of coca.) (Of the I know that these words it does plow ugly, anti-aesthetics, the end in the way, but alone that the form? And don't think that me leaning to be making the discovery)" (MAUTNER, 1962, p.71).
It is Worth to notice that, although Caetano had mentioned God of the Rain only, Mautner insisted that one should not read the books of the trilogy separately, and that goes us to evaluate God of the Rain would have to also evaluate Kaos and Narcissus in Ash Barks. In this writing that measly several appealing ideological variants in elapsing of the century XX, Mautner embodied the crazy prophet.
Own Mautner produced, with this text, the new thing." Previous to Beatles, God of the Rain innovated when bringing these elements and that theme inside of the literature. Attn that team of his/her emergence the literary discussion was marked by the conflict between the neoclassicists of the generation of 45 and the concrete poetry, what should have him/eserved the marginal and" damned" position that, in spite of the appearances of Mautner in the measured, practically it stayed unaffected.
