last few months we are reading with great satisfaction that we find all of Gary Snyder and we must admit that 100% share his thoughts about the rediscovery the wild side of life.
Snyder, besides being a friend of Martin's farm and Etain Pratale that have hosted the "Reading" few years ago, is the character Japhy Ryder in Kerouac wrote the 1958 book "The Dharma Bums" (I The Dharma Bums), I'm reading in these evenings, and that is to say in the 13th chapter:
"...see the whole thing is a world full of rucksack wanderers, Dharma Bums refusing to subscribe to the general demand that they consume production and therefore have to work for the privilege of consuming, all that crap they didn't really want anyway, such refrigerators, Tv sets, cars, at least new fancy cars, certain hears oils and deodorants and general junks you finally always see a week later in the garbage anyway, all of them imprisoned in a system of work, produce, consume, work, produce, consume..."
"...capite, tutta la faccenda รจ un mondo pieno di nomadi col sacco sulle spalle, Vagabondi del Dharma che si rifiutano di aderire alle generali richieste ch'essi consumino products and therefore are forced to work for the privilege of consuming, all that crap so much that not even they really wanted to like refrigerators, televisions, cars, new cars latest model at least, some hair and brilliantines deodorani and general stuff that a week later nell'immondezza ends up seeing, all prisoners of a system of work, produce, consume, work, produce, consume ... "
Well, Cheddar is just what we think about the system of consumption!
course Kerouac Snyder and thinking about these things already in the 50s ...
A nice coincidence is that Snyder lives in the Sierra Nevada in California, just in that area of \u200b\u200bYuba County and Navada in February that 10 years ago led me to our first and vagabonds Ele viaggione together, struggling with beautiful snow-covered forests, abandoned gold mines and a very hospitable population.
It was there that I said "I would like to open a restaurant Brianza, I Bilot Du (the two pistolotti) in these mountains, where they prepare Cazsoeula, braised, and grilled polenta!"
Maybe we could go and see Gary ...
