«Kismet è una parola turca che signifi ca “destino”. Gombrowicz l. a. scrisse, come fosse il sigillo posto a custodia della sua esistenza e insieme l. a. sua inevitabile deriva, nelle pagine del diario privato: Kronos. Kronos come il dio del pace, Crono, che divorò i propri fi gli: un titolo in assonanza con il suo ultimo romanzo, Kosmos (Cosmo); l’Ordine e il pace, due elementi centrali della nostra esistenza: sfuggenti, indefi nibili, spesso in antitesi. Kronos è proprio un tentativo di puntellare il pace: di dare un Ordine al Caos. Il suo valore risiede nel fatto che ci permette di conoscere un Gombrowicz non “in posa”, privo delle numerose maschere che amava indossare. L’autore registra il flusso della sua coscienza mescolando fatti privati e pubblici, un flusso spesso
disordinato ma in cui, in line with esempio, gli elenchi dei
brani musicali funzionano come una sorta di ossatura
alla quale si aggrappa tutto il resto. Nel “caotico” Kronos, Gombrowicz riesce a sorprendere senza risultare mai banale o scontato: è come se ci lasciasse un messaggio abbandonato in una bottiglia, consegnato in una forma non lavorata, essenziale. Il messaggio di uno scrittore geniale, a lungo non riconosciuto in keeping with il suo valore, tormentato dalle malattie e dalle ristrettezze, in lotta con il pace che bruciava troppo rapidamente l. a. sua vita sciupandone il desiderio dell’eterna giovinezza e frustrando le sue esuberanze; uno scrittore che seppe in keeping withò trovare, oltre l. a. disperazione, gli appigli in step with non affondare, regalandoci, anche con questo “diario privato”, un bizzarro lascito e una testimonianza, dal profondo, della vita che ribolle e poi si spegne.» Francesco M. Cataluccio
Il Saggiatore prosegue los angeles pubblicazione del corpus delle opere di Witold Gombrowicz avviata con Cosmo
e presenta in step with los angeles prima volta al lettore italiano
Kronos: selezionato ciò che è importante, creativo,
dall’inutile e dallo sterile che c’è in ogni vita,
Gombrowicz costruisce il suo passato, lo sublima
attraverso los angeles sua arte, si assegna il futuro che spetta ai grandi.
