Fa m\u00e9s m\u00e9s de cinc anys, el 10 de febrer de 2014, en aquest blog vam publicar la cr\u00f2nica<\/a> de la presentaci\u00f3 de Librer\u00edas <\/em>de Jorge Carri\u00f3n. Xavier Vidal, aleshores el recent estrenat llibreter de Nollegiu, amb la pres\u00e8ncia de l\u2019autor, presentava l\u2019acte a la biblioteca p\u00fablica del Poblenou de Barcelona. Ning\u00fa es podia imaginar l\u2019\u00e8xit de vendes i de cr\u00edtica que assoliria. Librer\u00edas <\/em>ha estat tradu\u00eft a tretze de les lleng\u00fces m\u00e9s importants del m\u00f3n, actualment es continua actualitzant i reeditant, una de les darreres ha estat al catal\u00e0<\/a>. S\u2019ha convertit en el llibre de cap\u00e7alera de tots els que ens agraden les llibreries (i els llibres).<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

El passat 12 de setembre de 2019 a ca la Juanita, un edifici hist\u00f2ric del Poblenou que actualment allotja la llibreria Nollegiu, es presenta Contra Amazon, <\/em>el nou llibre de Jorge Carri\u00f3n. La sala d\u2019actes \u00e9s plena, en Joan Tarrida, el director de Galaxia Gutenberg, l\u2019editorial que el publica, fa una breu presentaci\u00f3. Destaca com Amazon \u2012ell es nega a pronunciar aquesta paraula\u2012 ha convertit el llibre en una mercaderia qualsevol m\u00e9s, sense valorar-ne el seu contingut. Evoca el temps quan els \u00fanics llibres que entraven a la majoria de llars eren els que regalaven bancs i caixes per Sant Jordi o Nadal.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tot seguit, Jordi Carri\u00f3n i Xavier Vidal entren en mat\u00e8ria. L\u2019origen de Contra Amazon<\/em> \u00e9s el pamflet que Carri\u00f3n va publicar en l\u00ednia a la revista Jot Down <\/em>el 2017. Amb el t\u00edtol, entre ir\u00f2nic i provocador, \u00abContra Amazon: siete razones\/un manifiesto<\/a>\u00bb, Carri\u00f3n advertia del seguit de males pr\u00e0ctiques que Amazon t\u00e9 assumides com a pr\u00f2pies, i de com actuar en contra. L’\u00e8xit d\u2019aquest article va ser fulminant, aviat es va traduir a l\u2019angl\u00e8s, tant en digital com en paper, i a altres lleng\u00fces.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vist el fenomen, Dan Wells, l\u2019editor en angl\u00e8s, i Carri\u00f3n, juntament amb el suport incondicional de Joan Tarrida, van decidir convertir el chapbook <\/em>en llibre convencional. Contra Amazon, <\/em>a m\u00e9s del manifiesto,<\/em> pr\u00e8via tria de l\u2019autor, aplega setze relats que anteriorment han estat publicats en diferents mitjans. Segons indica la faixa promocional, es fa una edici\u00f3 simult\u00e0nia en espanyol, franc\u00e8s i angl\u00e8s. A la mateixa faixa hi llegim: \u00abDiecisiete historias en defensa de las librer\u00edas, las bibliotecas, la lectura\u00bb; m\u00e9s atractiu, impossible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Xavier Vidal confessa una certa enveja dels viatges d\u2019en Carri\u00f3n. D\u2019alguna manera, Contra Amazon, <\/em>igual que Librer\u00edas, <\/em>\u00e9s un llibre de cr\u00f2niques de viatges on el fil conductor s\u00f3n els llibres, les llibreries i les biblioteques. Carri\u00f3n vindica la no-ficci\u00f3 com un g\u00e8nere viu que el pas del temps va modificant, llibreries que en el seu dia va visitar i que el van enlluernar, ara descobreix que potser no n\u2019hi havia per tant, que fins i tot algunes d\u2019aquestes llibreries en realitat s\u00f3n una altra cosa, com la Lello de Porto.<\/span><\/p>\n

Algunes an\u00e8cdotes. En la seva visita a la Villa Malaparte a l\u2019illa de Capri, mentre esperava ser rebut pels actuals propietaris, li va sobrevenir un atac de \u00abvulgaritat contempor\u00e0nia\u00bb: no va poder resistir la compulsi\u00f3 de fotografiar tot el que veia a l\u2019interior de la Villa. Quan finalment va ser at\u00e8s li van dir que, sobretot, res de fotos.<\/span><\/p>\n

Inevitable citar Borges; una entrevista a Alberto Manguel a la Biblioteca Nacional d\u2019Argentina; un relat es titula \u00abBorges antes y despu\u00e9s de Borges\u00bb; hi trobem biblioteques reals o imagin\u00e0ries; biblioteques personals, l\u2019ombra de Borges \u00e9s allargada. Recorda els anys de joventut a Matar\u00f3, el seu itinerari era de casa a la biblioteca, en aquells temps nom\u00e9s n\u2019hi havia una, d\u2019una caixa d\u2019estalvis ja desapareguda, de la biblioteca a la Robafaves, una llibreria tamb\u00e9 desapareguda, i una altra vegada a casa, on comen\u00e7ava a formar una incipient biblioteca personal.<\/span><\/p>\n

A difer\u00e8ncia d\u2019altres llibres de Carri\u00f3n publicats per Galaxia Gutenberg, tots en tapa dura, aquesta \u00e9s una edici\u00f3 volgudament modesta i d\u2019un preu ajustat, 16,90 euros amb la voluntat que pugui circular f\u00e0cilment pels pa\u00efsos llatinoamericans. El disseny de la coberta, un cavall de Troia amb el seu interior ple de llibres envoltat de caixes amb somriures amena\u00e7adorament amaz\u00f2nics, \u00e9s obra de Cinta Fosch, tamb\u00e9 present a la sala.<\/span><\/p>\n

Closa la presentaci\u00f3, que es fa indistintament en catal\u00e0 i castell\u00e0, al carrer i amb la taula a punt, en Carri\u00f3n no para de signar dedicat\u00f2ries.<\/span><\/p>\n
