First of all: this is a serious book, written for a time when reflection is particularly needed. “This is the time for waiting” they say. Not only are we asking ourselves where we are going, but also: “What will we become?”
We live in a world of uncertain horizons, where new becomes old all the time. And, in turn, it becomes disturbing. There is restlessness, there is anguish. In the world and in art. And in art: a constant search for renewal, both in form and content.
That’s why this book by Moacyr Scliar and Carlos Stein is serious and different. Reality is seen through the stories of two young writers who have adopted their own book form and are searching for their own style. In their stories, Scliar and Stein bear the deep marks of a society that is unable to find itself. It rebels, defends itself, attacks and dies. Each story is a clash of opposites, each sentence, an attempt at a solution.
Waiting time is a book that will deeply resonate with the reading public.
