Melvile Business

[Salvador Davino]

This thing remember to me when Thomas Mann´s diaries were published; its was 
a real liteary shock. Not only because his homosexuality or his frustate 
marriage life or his failure like a father, but to find (and more 
significance) a man who was a man with the diference that the development a 
talent. In the way that the people convience that the hero only exist in the 
mind of the artist, or the self-righteous in the catholic, that day they can 
revalue their own. Maybe Thomas Mann never imagine this sick cult of XX 
(half-end) and begining XXI century for the privates lifes, the scandalous 
sense to find the privates of his hero´s more o less intrincate or frustaste 
than every person in the world. I guess Mann have change the date ("Open 20 
years after my dead" to "Open until this people understand muy work")
