Joan-Lluís Lluís and the mythology of orangutans

During the long presentation tour of Junil a les terres dels bàrbars (Club Editor, 2021), along with what goes to guanyar premis with l'Òmnium or the Crexells a la milor novel·la de l'any, Joan-Lluís Lluís (Perpinyà, 1963) explained an Australian mythological rondalla about the origin of the Language that is related to the character that appears in the literature together with Ovidi. Ara presents Una cançó de pluja (Club Editor), an animal story about evil that apparently could not be more sunny, but at the moment I kept the idea of ​​travel and growth.

The protagonist is an orangutan who escapes from a group of poachers and evil hunters to return to her forest, a journey during which she encounters both humans again, an experience that ends with mistreatment. The origin of the story is llunyà and complex: "Father, on a visit to the zoo with my fills, I saw a gorilla and then looked through a glass, and then asked what she was thinking, finally, if she saw me. Later, after seeing a photograph of an orangutan Majestuós, like n'hi ha milers, em will come to the cap immediately the king Priam, king of Troia, and llavors will think about fer an adaptation of the Odyssey to Borneo, both animals will begin to fer proves and anava bé.” The reality, however, is going to imposar: "Em vaig asabentar d'un fet real, un cas de maltractament, que em vaig fer literally exploit la novel·la i vaig aturar, però em vaig adonar que no podar de llarg, m'hauria semblat covard. No vaig voler que fos documentary, but rather I wanted to maintain the novel·la, the ficció, and probably for this reason the meva novel· the clearest is the one that has demanded the most time.

In this literary text, “orangutans are animals, they are not anthropomorphized by Walt Disney characters, they are animals, but they communicate,” and humans do not share the same meaning, but “fet real esgarrifos, which is a point of human evil.” Li will cost: "When I started to enter the real fet m'ofegava, I couldn't continue, I needed a point d'air. With the naive vision that when there is evil and no goodness to counteract it, there will be a good lady who helps her moguda for empathy."

Tot folded with a real fet to the mig that I wanted to explain without embarrassing the reader: "I tried to keep it very clear without explaining the details, but I didn't make any doubts about it, with a very important aspect of l'el·lipsi. Furthermore, it was important that you don't refer to a sexual perversion, zoophilia or something like that, but rather it was something else: power, fatxenderia and mercantilism bring to the most annoying extreme possible.”

According to the author, “literature does not always have to be kind, but accept that hardness is part of life”

"In this novel I have felt the discomfort with a certain sharpness, and I have not passed at all to feeling so uncomfortable with the things that my mate wrote, but I have proven that it was not still uncomfortable to arrive at. But for some readers it will be, not in a tinc cap dubte i em sap greu, no es voluntari, but literature does not always have to be kind, but rather it has to explain things or teach things, and we have to accept that hardness or indescribable things or unimaginable things are a part of life,” he assures.

Lluís talks about oppression and resilience, but he insists that he has "anat both comptely, voluntarily, that he does not do anything that he can think of the Catalan language as a matter of reflection, but that is not the issue. But he has suffered the seva of the misfortunes that he has to bear and, therefore, for a gang or Moreover, it always ends sortint. It is not a denunciation novel, which generally does not work.

Nor does it strictly denounce humanity: "Civilization makes a lot of bones, also for animals, some are fascinated by music, which is abstract, and it can be said that they have affective capacity, they can feel emotions through an intangible thing like music. But who has to pay, for that matter? There is a price to pay for everything, in general." The beauty's attraction could be a trap.

The Rossellon writer is going to document why “he believed that there are real animals with demonstrated behaviors, but we do not know what happens to the cap of an animal, especially to the cap of the primats, which are the most evolved and most proper.” "So I'm going to think about being generated and granting things that they probably don't have, but it's a fallacy, and they don't have the ability to speak and communicate through telepathy, and what for me would be the ultimate gift, a mythology, that allows me to invent God and invent a creation."
