Philip Stanton, artist and designer: “If a novel is good, you should reread it for the details”

Novel with historical notes and essay. I have many authors, and some I have reread several times: Haruki Murakami, John Irving, Carlos Ruiz Zafón, Ken Follett’s two historical fiction trilogies are my delight. The list is heterogeneous and long.

Why are you rereading so much?

If a novel is good, it needs to be reread because the details are overlooked, it’s like reading something new. For example, those of Wilkie Collins and Gustave Flaubert. And John Irving, with interpretation by Charles Dickens describing the lives of various characters in 600 pages.

What seduces you in Murakami?

His novels are choral, he has a protagonist, but other characters are important. Causes an interesting spell, elements of the philosophical article incomeThere is magical realism and a universal approach, talking about Leo Tolstoy, Antonio Vivaldi…

This is a surreal point.

It introduces you to a real world with unreal elements; It’s scary when he can inject his work into you sometimes. Topics that impressed me the most history of a bird, Tokyo in the Blues and most hypnotic Kafka on the shore.

Do you see any similarities with Milan Kundera?

Yes, the ability to create believable worlds where things that shouldn’t happen happen. And I’m learning history.

Are there more writers with common nuances?

Irving and Ruiz Zafón have a talent for creating great novels that can recognize settings, moments and people.

Historical notes are going, tell me.

I like to know that when Krakatoa volcano erupts, the temperature drops by a few degrees and therefore the Impressionists paint the sky bright red, purple because of the volcanic ash that interferes with the sunset. And Frankenstein’s story was a rivalry between five friends locked up in a Swiss hotel. I search for authors and works.

Who gave you the passion for reading?

I come from a multi-divorced family, but my mother was a great reader and introduced me to popular literature.

Recent readings?

The light you can’t seeby Anthony Doerr and peaces By Helen Oyeyemi.

In format…

I’m no stranger to the tablet, but I love the feel of the paper, the sequential feel of the spin.
