| Summary, etc | Poetry. Manuel Vilas continues his literary journey in LISTEN TO ME, an English translation of the original Spanish text. Between 2008 and 2013, the five years covered in this zany, entertaining book, Vilas recounts his days exploring the internet and its potential as a literary medium, first on his blog and then, later, on Facebook. In these formats he experimented freely with his writing. Real time responses from his virtual readership created an interactive mode of writing.<br/><br/>In LISTEN TO ME the text itself is structured as sequential, dated entries; the entries vary widely in content and style. Some elements read like poetry, others quite like prose, alternating between the two, yet not seeming to be prose poetry either. A dominant feature of the style is dialogue, principally between the author and God, other authoritative figures, and rock and roll icons. The combination of these features--writing on internet platforms, real time interaction with a readership, diaristic dialogues, and varied literary styles result in a text that is difficult to position within literary genres. For this reason, perhaps LISTEN TO ME is best considered a hybrid text. |
