Safran Foer, if nothing matters Jonathan Safran Foer, that of "Everything Is Illuminated" and "Extremely Loud and Incredibly" - we had become accustomed to novels-novels-inquiry or investigation. From the stories that are the heritage of our world (Nazism / 11), has produced vivid portraits of people and cultures.
today with "If nothing matters," repeats the formula of a journalistic investigation that is told in novel-form after raids that allowed him to collect plenty of evidence to the world of meat production (breeding, slaughtering, sale of prodootto). The damage to health and the environment are unspeakable and the fluidity of the story - that part as always by the biographical data - makes it recognizable tics & taboo that everyone experience: DALSA belief that meat is good, dell'iperalimentazione the legacy of the boom years, the neglect of the "what" is inside the food industry. I thought till giovinezza submitted that the food produced in the factory were better than homemade. To understand that we are poles apart, only now. The burn of biscuits, sold by microdepositi metal ovens, interference, not to mention the GM have been part of our diet of children of the economic boom from the Sixties onwards.
Safran Foer reminds me a lot Saviano, but also the writer-narrator-as travelers or Terzani Kapuscinski (Despite the latter's products that they want to demolish the myth). And I think one of the most interesting lessons of literature or docu-fiction, journalism or outright our age.
