Chaining Shiny Pokemon

Fragment (I)

"(...) forbid me from now on writing a single word that does not try to create the new literature (no arqueologizarla, but all that is recovered is also created), a discipline that will be reporting without being demagogic, sensitive without being maudlin, complex without being complicated, poetic without being pretentious, humorous without being graciosilla, intelligent without being erudite without being metaliterary referential, self-referential without being snake-tail-biting [N. T: we could try to translate the term as "snake-that-bites-the-tail-ist", but best not ], which is deeply human without being rhetorical, humanistic prose light weight but conceptual ( ...)"

From the "Manifesto against the manifest" of
Walling Wellington.
23, December 2008.

[Fun fact: from the date specified in the "Manifesto", Wellington has not released any text, and in late 2009-still alive-released their "Works "suggesting that left writing forever. Some critics based their departure from the literary world unable to meet the requirements of its own manifesto, but the reviewer FagĂșndez Ismael Padilla, in the journal Hail, attempted a curious theory we extract the final paragraph.
"But it could be another Read: Wellington was rotten to write, as only someone who may be pregnant sweated and bled every drop of ink and each pixel (...) there was no better, perhaps (and no more wellingtoniana, insurance) to retire with a final joke: just parse the name of the manifest self-denial, to realize it was all a joke, a hidden camera to clueless critics and eager to crack every bone to the marrow. Wellington gave us a plastic one from the beginning. It gave us a trap so that we build the law. If literature is something, is something like that. "]
