Pelas ruas de pedra daquela longeva cidade, perambulava aquela estranha mulher, abandonada pelos anos, abandonada pela vida, carregando sobre os…
ombros um mundo de sofrimento e traiçao. Seu passo era lento, como quem não tem pressa em avançar no tempo. Como bagagem, levava apenas uns trapos velhos e uma vida cheia de dor. De noite, dormia onde o cansaço a vencesse, dependendo da caridade humana, de alguém que lhe desse um pedaço de pão ou o que fosse para aplacar a sua fome. Repetia muitas vezes: “Serei a mãe de meu sobrinho ou a tia de meu filho?”, enquanto acariciava sem cessar o seu ventre, esse mesmo ventre que em seu interior abrigava, até os confins da amargura e do pecado, um petrificado feto que se negara a nascer.Moise and the World of Reason
By Tennessee Williams. 1975
What's not to like about Tennessee Williams's most forthright work about homosexual love, with its gay figure skaters, runaways, and…
sex? An erotic, sensual, and comic novel that was a generation ahead of its time, Moise and the World of Reason has at its center the need of three people for each other: Lance, the beautiful black figure skater full of love and lust for young men as well as a craving for drugs; the nameless gay young narrator, a runaway writer from Alabama who lives near the piers of New York City's West Village, c. 1975, frantically filling notebooks with his observations; and Moise, a young woman who speaks in riddles and can never finish her paintings or consummate her affairs. The long unavailable Moise and the World of Reason represents a kind of uncensored Williams, radically frank, fully articulated, and deeply tender: a true gem.Il Diario di Leione
