A few months ago I posted the following text on this blog:
One Of The Thinks That I Hate The Most...
Well, I'm being shallow, obviously, but keep in mind that I'm saying the
following in the context of this blog and this blog only. There are
LOTS of things to be REAL mad about in this world which don't involve
comics: blockbuster films, for instance... Kidding!...
Anyway, here's the thing (and I've never seen or heard, or seen and
heard at the same time, anyone saying this, so, prepare yourselves for a
first!): I hate it when a television show, or a Podcast, or whatever
mass media you can think of, invites an intellectual celebrity (a famous
writer or philosopher, or academic, or critic, you get the gist...) to a
show about comics and he (it's usually a he, because, you know... girls
don't read comics) says comics are marvelous, etc... because, he liked
reading comics soooo much when he was a child.
It's très chic to like what the ignoramuses like, you know? Deep
down he thinks comics are crap, but the show is inexorably settled and
it, as usual, must go on...
Maybe more than saying inanities about comics (how could it be otherwise
if they didn't pick up a comic in decades?) what bothers me the most is
the condescension. His highness deigned to descend from his high horse
and visit the populace. What I have to say to him is "put your crappy
childish comics where they belong: namely, up your ass!".
So, lo´ and behold, here's what
Didier Pasamonik has to say about what Jean-Marie Le Clézio wrote in
Le Débat magazine # 195 (March, 2017).
Le clou du numéro est quand même ce (très court) texte de Jean-Marie Le Clézio qui clame son amour pour Willy Vandersteen, Jacques Laudy et Bob De Moor, ce qui est quand même un peu bluffant, même s’il le partage avec celui pour le « Luc Orient de Raymond Reding » [Sic], et puis bien sûr pour Hergé, Franquin, Jacobs...
En toute liberté, il ajoute : « … je n’éprouve pas beaucoup d’intérêt pour ce que l’on appelle actuellement la BD pour adultes. »
In other words: monsieur Le Clézio aime de la merde. Imagine the Nobel Prize laureate saying something like: literature? I just like Enid Blyton and J. K. Rowling, I have no interest for Marcel Proust and Tchekov...
