El roce del tiempo

El roce del tiempo. Martin Amis. Editorial Anagrama, 2019
Traducción de Jesús Zulaika
A medida que el filo de su novelística, en plena forma en las dos últimas décadas del siglo pasado ―los años de DineroCampos de LondresLa información Tren nocturno ―, parece haber caído en un preocupante embotamiento, el hijo de Kingsley Amis ha mantenido aguzado su ingenio en el caso sus artículos, sobre todo los referentes a literatura, en la mejor tradición de la crítica británica  ―una tradición que se remonta a Samuel Johnson pero que cuenta, en las últimas décadas, con maestros como Cyril Connolly o, más recientemente, James Wood―.

Agrupados por capítulos temáticos, Amis escribe sobre política unos impagables reportajes referidos a las convenciones del Partido Republicano de los EE. UU., con un exhaustivo y desternillante análisis de Donald Trump cuando ganó la candidatura a la presidencia; sobre el terrorismo islamista; una inclemente crítica personal contra Jeremy Corbyn; o acerca de una estancia de varios días en algunos de los barrios más violentos de Cali. 

Pero, además de escribir sobre deporte, la familia Windsor y otros asuntos de carácter más personal, los artículos referidos a literatura son la parte principal del texto y los que más interés han despertado en este lector. Entre los temas tratados en ellos, la fijación ninfoléptica de Nabokov; el poder que confirió a la novela norteamericana ―ante el declive de la francesa, la rusa y la inglesa en el último siglo― la novela judía, en particular, la del "supremo novelista" Saul Bellow; un reverente panegírico de Iris Murdoch, con una sentida reflexión sobre la enfermedad de Alzheimer que padeció al final de su vida; el ejemplo de Don DeLillo para evidenciar que ningún escritor puede mantener la misma calidad en toda su obra; la admiración por el talento de J. G. Ballard, con independencia de lo acertado de sus predicciones, un hecho literariamente carente de importancia; la supervivencia a lo largo de los siglos de la anacrónica Jane Austen, a pesar de su localismo, gracias a la literatura; 
la muestra de su admiración por la actualidad de La naranja mecánica; para terminar con una serie de escritos referidos al trío de escritores que despiertan su mayor admiración: Philip Roth y su transgresión continua del puritanismo nacional; John Updike, cuyo poco acierto literario en sus últimos textos acaba componiendo, en cambio, un colofón digno de su obra; y, finalmente, Saul Bellow, el único escritor conocido que supo mantener el nivel literario hasta sus últimos escritos.
