Zilele astea, m-am \u00eent\u00e2lnit cu domnul Alex \u015etef\u0103nescu<\/a>, care-mi ceruse c\u0103r\u0163ile s\u0103 le fac\u0103 recenzii. N-a venit cu m\u00e2na goal\u0103. Mi-a adus la schimb volumul lui de memoralistic\u0103, B\u0103rbat adormit \u00een fotoliu<\/em>. Pe care, desigur, l-am primit cu un subtil “pfff, \u00eenc\u0103 un critic care vrea s\u0103 se dea scriitor, \u015fi, ca s\u0103 n-o spun\u0103 pe \u015fleau, cic\u0103 scrie memorii.”
\nApoi, \u00een metrou, am deschis cartea \u00eentr-o doar\u0103. S\u0103 l\u0103s\u0103m faptul c\u0103, \u00een paginile ei, oameni ca Marin Sorescu, Nichita St\u0103nescu, Marin Preda, Adrian P\u0103unescu, \u015fi muuuul\u0163i, mul\u0163i al\u0163ii, forfotesc de colo p\u00e2n\u0103 colo, ca acas\u0103, cu tot ce au ei mai omenesc \u015fi, implicit, mai hazliu. \u00cen scurt timp, r\u00e2deam \u00een metrou cu cartea \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103, a\u015fa cum nechez eu c\u00e2nd e ceva de r\u00e2s. \u00cen hohote, \u015fterg\u00e2nd muci \u015fi lacrimi, spre oripilarea cucoanelor cumsecade. Dau doar un fragment, s\u0103 r\u00e2de\u0163i \u015fi voi. Da, c\u00e2rcota\u015fu’ din r\u00e2ndu’ din mijloc, am cerut permisiunea autorului. A\u015fadar, iac-a\u015fa.<\/p>\n

PS: Cartea am citit-o ne\u00eentrerupt, p\u00e2n\u0103 la cap\u0103t. Noroc c\u0103 e scurt\u0103, sau a\u015fa pare la lectur\u0103. Am f\u0103cut trei tururi de Republica – Dristor doi cu ea.<\/p>\n

\u00cen anii \u201980, Octavian Paler avea cele mai \u00eenalte func\u0163ii \u015fi demnit\u0103\u0163i \u2013\u00a0redactor-\u015fef la Rom\u00e2nia liber\u0103, membru \u00een CC al PCR, deputat \u00een Marea Adunare\u00a0Na\u0163ional\u0103 etc. \u2013, dar mai voia ceva: s\u0103 fie recunoscut ca scriitor. De aceea, ori de c\u00e2te ori \u00eel vizita vreun critic literar la Rom\u00e2nia liber\u0103, \u00eel sechestra \u00een biroul lui,\u00a0asalt\u00e2ndu-l cu \u00eentreb\u0103ri \u00een leg\u0103tur\u0103 cu via\u0163a literar\u0103 sau cople\u015findu-l cu o parad\u0103 de
\ncultur\u0103.<\/p>\n

Am fost \u015fi eu o dat\u0103 \u0163inut astfel ostatic. Octavian Paler st\u0103tea la un birou pe\u00a0care se aflau teancuri de c\u0103r\u0163i, de o \u00een\u0103l\u0163ime ostentativ\u0103 \u015fi o lamp\u0103 electric\u0103 menit\u0103\u00a0s\u0103 sugereze scrisul nocturn, iar eu m\u0103 foiam \u00eentr-unul din cele dou\u0103 fotolii care flancau m\u0103su\u0163a din fa\u0163a biroului. Trecuser\u0103 trei sferturi de or\u0103 de c\u00e2nd ascultam\u00a0un discurs despre Oedip \u015fi Sfynx \u015fi tot nu g\u0103seam prilejul s\u0103-mi iau r\u0103mas bun\u00a0\u015fi s\u0103 plec. Deodat\u0103, \u00een \u00eenc\u0103pere \u015fi-a f\u0103cut apari\u0163ia Mariana, secretara lui Paler, cu\u00a0un castron cu c\u0103p\u015funi \u00een m\u00e2n\u0103. Peste c\u0103p\u015funile proasp\u0103t \u015fi bine sp\u0103late, fusese\u00a0pres\u0103rat zah\u0103r din abunden\u0163\u0103. Nu mi-a mai venit s\u0103 plec. Mariana a a\u015fezat castronul\u00a0pe birou, \u00een fa\u0163a lui Paler, \u015fi a p\u0103r\u0103sit t\u0103cut\u0103 \u00eenc\u0103perea.<\/p>\n

Spre marea mea dezam\u0103gire, Octavian Paler a \u00eenceput s\u0103 m\u0103n\u00e2nce\u00a0c\u0103p\u015funile de unul singur, continu\u00e2ndu-\u015fi dizerta\u0163ia. Lua c\u00e2te o c\u0103p\u015fun\u0103 cu dou\u0103 degete, o b\u0103ga voluptuos \u00een gur\u0103 \u015fi o strivea cu abilitate exact \u00een pauza dintre\u00a0dou\u0103 fraze. Mustoasele fructe deveneau astfel un fel de semne de punctua\u0163ie ale
\ninterminabilului s\u0103u discurs. Timp de alte trei sferturi de or\u0103, oratorul infatigabil\u00a0din fa\u0163a mea a \u00eenghi\u0163it astfel, una dup\u0103 alta, toate c\u0103p\u015funile din castron, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103 m\u0103 serveasc\u0103 \u015fi pe mine m\u0103car cu una. La plecare, z\u0103p\u0103cit de ceea ce mi se \u00eent\u00e2mplase,\u00a0am g\u0103sit cu greu clan\u0163a de la u\u015f\u0103.<\/p>\n

La mul\u0163i ani dup\u0103 consumarea acestui episod, citind Jurnalul lui Mircea\u00a0Zaciu, am g\u0103sit o \u00eensemnare care mi-a atras imediat aten\u0163ia: autorul poveste\u015fte\u00a0cum, merg\u00e2nd \u00een vizit\u0103 la Octavian Paler, pe vremea c\u00e2nd Octavian Paler era redactor-\u015fef la Rom\u00e2nia liber\u0103, l-a g\u0103sit pe acesta cu un castron cu caise \u00een fa\u0163\u0103.<\/p>\n

C\u00e2t timp a durat convorbirea \u2013 istorise\u015fte vexat Mircea Zaciu \u2013 Octavian Paler a\u00a0m\u00e2ncat imperturbabil toate caisele, f\u0103r\u0103 s\u0103-i ofere \u015fi lui m\u0103car una.<\/p>\n

\u00centruc\u00e2t cartea lui Mircea Zaciu a fost citit\u0103 de mult\u0103 lume, Octavian Paler\u00a0s-a sim\u0163it dator s\u0103 explice, \u00een pres\u0103, c\u0103 nu-\u015fi aminte\u015fte \u00eent\u00e2mplarea \u015fi c\u0103, dac\u0103\u00a0lucrurile s-au petrecut cu adev\u0103rat a\u015fa cum le relateaz\u0103 autorul jurnalului, a fost vorba, f\u0103r\u0103 \u00eendoial\u0103, de un accident, regretabil, dar lipsit de semnifica\u0163ie. Oricine\u00a0poate avea o dat\u0103 \u00een via\u0163\u0103 \u2013 conchidea moralistul \u2013 un moment de neaten\u0163ie.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
