The Interpreter


THE INTERPRETERPulitzer prize-winning author David K. Shipler’s fictionalized story of a Vietnamese interpreter, based on his own experiences as a war correspondent, brings back the tensions within Vietnam during the war, focusing on a local with close ties to American journalists and politicians. The Interpreter is based on the true story of a Vietnamese translator who is wounded—not physically—by a love of country too pure for the contaminated choices that confront him. Dragged by an inner search, he has wandered among the neat categories of allegiance imposed by Vietnam’s lifetime of warfare and foreign occupation. But he fits into none of the available boxes—not Communist, not Government, not pro-American, nor any of the assortment of political dissidents who populate the shadowy warrens of Saigon. He finds no home with either the tortured or the torturers. Instead, he tries to interpret Vietnam through an evolving comradeship with an American correspondent, to distant, weary audiences who barely listen anymore. He commits a futile betrayal against the correspondent’s wife. He harbors a secret. He clings to a simple nobility, he believes, as an authentic Vietnamese of transcendent patriotism, and so he keeps his footing in the whirlwind of panic as Saigon falls. By refusing an offer to escape with his family to the US, he consigns his future to an intricate, stumbling dance with the victorious Communist regime. This man is fictionalized, but he is not alone in the world. His torment is a hidden story not only of Vietnam but of the hundreds like him who have interpreted their war-torn countries for the foreigners who fuel the fighting with weapons and blood.

Nezámernosť. Eseje o umení a živote


Kniha esejí o jednoduchom živote, o dotýkaní, o nezámernosti umeleckej tvorby a o živote v priestore obrazov. Súčasťou knihy sú komentované reprodukcie diel Young-Jae Leeho, Donalda Judda, Johna Pawsona, Rudolpha Schindlera, Franka Lloyda Wrighta, Jana Kolwitza, Jacksona Pollocka, Gerharda Richtera, Juliusa Bissiera, Kammerer-Luka, Tanimoto Keia a Agnes Martin. Z nemeckého originálu Unwillkürlichkeit. Essays über Kunst und Leben (modo Verlag, 2016) preložil Rastislav Nemec. Z predhovoru autora: „Dívať sa znamená úkon, ktorý svojím spôsobom nie je ani úkonom. Nie je ani udalosťou, ktorá sa len tak prihodí. Označuje niečo bez zámeru. Zapozeráte sa a premýšľate bez toho, aby ste sledovali nejaký úmysel. Nechávate všetko tak, umožňujete svojmu náprotivku tu len tak byť. A prežívate jeho prítomnosť. Tá je tým silnejšia, čím viac mu ponechávate možnosť byť. Môže zosilnieť až tak, že sa k veci, na ktorú sa pozeráte, budete neustále vracať a nikdy ju úplne neopustíte. Už pre vás nie je len jednoduchou vecou, stala sa predmetnou, stala sa vaším náprotivkom. Takže jej jednoduchá existencia vo vás priam vyvoláva otázky. Vkráda sa do vašich myšlienok ako otázka. No otázku – prirodzene – vo vás nevyvoláva táto predmetná vec. Vy sami sa začnete pýtať. Napríklad: prečo vlastne máme záujem tak dlho a opakovane hľadieť na niečo tak jednoduché a prosté? A tá následne môže viesť k ďalším otázkam. Čo znamená slovo „jednoduché“ a čo slovo „prosté“? Ako obe slová súvisia s tým, že človek považuje niečo, napríklad konkrétne túto vec, za krásnu? Ide len o osobnú preferenciu, krásu výlučne v oku diváka? Alebo nám táto krása umožňuje, aby pozorovaná vec bola krásnou objektívne – akou je aj pri našom skúmaní? Keď proti nám stojí a priťahuje diváka? A zároveň ho udržiava v odstupe napospas vlastným otázkam? Nie je to azda len bežná, každodenná vec, je to naozaj umelecké dielo? Ale čo je to vlastne umelecké dielo?“
