The Serpent Said: La Serpiente dijo
Publisher Marketing: In 38 vignettes of considerable formal simplicity, Perry Oliver shows us his refined sense of humor, which makes us smile and think. With the pretext of using the perspective of the Serpent in Genesis, and under the guise of a deceptive simplicity (aesthetic and narrative), Oliver circumvents religious considerations and instead proposes a critical irony of certain aspects of contemporary society, like personal relationships or mass consumption. Although written (or better said, drawn) at the end of the last century, it maintains its relevance. We have a singular work in the trajectory of the author, a recognized artist (sculptor and printmaker). Although he has some inedited texts, this is not his usual medium of artistic expression. This book combines and fuses with mastery three of his passions: drawing, words, and (above all) humor. This bilingual version, English and Spanish, with its very concise idiom of short phrases and wordplay, makes an ideal exercise for students in either of these languages.En 38 viñetas de gran sencillez formal, Perry Oliver nos muestras su fino humor, que nos hará sonreir y pensar. Bajo la excusa de mostrarnos el punto de vista de la Serpiente del Génesis, y bajo la apariencia de una falsa simpleza (estética y narrativa), Oliver no entra en asuntos religiosos sino que plantea una irónica crÃtica a algunos aspectos de la sociedad actual, como la relación de pareja o el consumo de masas. Aunque escrito (o mejor dicho, dibujado) a finales del pasado siglo, mantiene una total vigencia. Se trata de una obra muy singular en la trayectoria del autor, reconocido artista plástico (escultor y grabador), que aunque posee algunas obras literarias inéditas, no es éste su campo habitual de expresión artÃstica. En este libro se funden magistralmente tres de sus pasiones; el Dibujo, la Palabra y (sobre todo) el Humor. Esta versión bilingüe, inglés/Español, con un lenguaje muy conciso, en frases cortas y algunos juegos de palabra, la hacen idónea como ejercicios de prácticas para estudiantes de alguno de estos idiomas.
