Jarosław Wolski on Nostr: Tomasz Mann jest jednym z moich ulubionych pisarzy, ale jego publicystyka, czy też ...
Tomasz Mann jest jednym z moich ulubionych pisarzy, ale jego publicystyka, czy też raczej eseistyka (Rozważania człowieka apolitycznego), niestety jest niestrawna. Bardzo inteligentna, przenikliwa i aż gęsta od znaczeń, ale niestrawna. Czytanie tych kilkunastolinijkowych zdań, usianych myślnikami, średnikami, dwukropkami i wielokropkami, to po prostu męka, której nie wynagradza nawet imponująca erudycja autora.

Thomas Mann is one of my favorite writers, but his journalism, or rather essays (Reflections of a Nonpolitical Man), is unfortunately indigestible. Very intelligent, insightful and all the way thick with meaning, but indigestible. Reading these several-line sentences, dotted with hyphens, semicolons, colons and ellipses, is simply an ordeal, which is not even compensated for by the author's impressive erudition.
