de Oliviu Cr\u00e2znic<\/p>\n

Despre Sergiu SOME\u0218AN <\/strong>(n. 1954) am scris recent, analiz\u00e2ndu-i \u0219ase colectanee de proz\u0103 scurt\u0103 \u0219tiin\u021bifico-fantastic\u0103, respectiv neofantastic\u0103 \u2013 fantastic\u0103 (propriu-zis) \u2013 gotic\u0103:<\/p>\n

\u2013 S\u0103 n-o s\u0103ru\u021bi pe Isabel <\/em><\/a>(Ed. Arania, 2000; Ed. Vremea, 2005);<\/p>\n

\u2013 Carte de magie <\/em><\/a>(Ed. Arania, 2001; Ed. Vremea, 2005);<\/p>\n

\u2013 Aproape \u00eengeri<\/em><\/a> (Ed. Cartea Rom\u00e2neasc\u0103, 2004; Ed. Vremea, 2005);<\/p>\n

\u2013 Num\u0103rul Fiarei<\/em><\/a> (Ed. Vremea, 2004);<\/p>\n

\u2013 \u00cent\u00e2lnire cu dragonul<\/em><\/a> (Ed. Etnous, 2015);<\/p>\n

\u2013 <\/strong>Zbang! Tung! Bung!<\/em><\/a> (Ed. Pavcon, 2021).<\/p>\n

Univers lipit cu scoci<\/em><\/strong> (Ed. Pavcon, 2021) se men\u021bine \u00een aproximativ aceea\u0219i zon\u0103 literar\u0103 ca predecesoarele colectanee (cu precizarea c\u0103 ponderea histrionismului \u2013 cu \u00eenclina\u021bie spre componenta absurdist\u0103 \u2013 v\u0103de\u0219te o tendin\u021b\u0103 de cre\u0219tere).<\/p>\n

Primele pagini sunt (\u00eentr-un mod devenit, putem spune, tradi\u021bional pentru S. Some\u0219an) rezervate prozei al c\u0103rei titlu a fost \u00eemprumutat \u0219i colectaneului \u00een ansamblu: Univers lipit cu scoci<\/em>. Nara\u021biunea \u00een cauz\u0103 deschide, de asemenea, un ciclu epic pe care l-am putea intitula Martin \u2013 Pontin<\/em>, dup\u0103 numele pre\u0219edin\u021bilor (american \u0219i, respectiv, rus) care apar \u00een segmentele acestuia. Prima parte a povestirii sondeaz\u0103 misterul descoperirii unui monolit de origine necunoscut\u0103 (purt\u00e2ndu-ne, astfel, g\u00e2ndul spre cazul real al faimosului Monolit din Utah, descoperit \u00een anul 2020), care pune pe jar Marile Puteri Politice occidentale \u0219i orientale. A doua parte a povestirii ar fi fost, \u00eens\u0103, preferabil s\u0103 lipseasc\u0103: pe de o parte, seam\u0103n\u0103 cu alt text semnat de S. Some\u0219an \u0219i publicat chiar \u00een prezentul colectaneu (R\u0103zbunarea walkiriei<\/em>); pe de alt\u0103 parte, ideea c\u0103 un student bra\u0219ovean \u00eendr\u0103gostit (\u0219i naiv) ar putea controla un fenomen cosmic \u00een fa\u021ba c\u0103ruia to\u021bi savan\u021bii de seam\u0103 ai Lumii (ace\u0219tia beneficiind, \u00een vederea studierii fenomenului respectiv, de acces nelimitat la uria\u0219e resurse teoretice \u0219i practice) se dovedesc a fi total neputincio\u0219i dep\u0103\u0219e\u0219te, \u00een opinia noastr\u0103, limitele conven\u021biei de suspendare a ne\u00eencrederii (\u00eencheiate \u00een mod necesar \u0219i, totodat\u0103, tacit \u00eentre autor \u0219i cititor \u00een domeniul fic\u021biunii speculative[1]). De altfel, opera\u021biunea la care face referire titlul povestirii are loc la finalul primei p\u0103r\u021bi a acesteia \u2013 nefiind, prin urmare, necesar un alt deznod\u0103m\u00e2nt.<\/p>\n

Cavalerul negru al Apocalipsei <\/em>constituie al doilea segment al ciclului epic Martin \u2013 Pontin<\/em>, pre\u0219edin\u021bii SUA \u0219i Rusiei (cu care am f\u0103cut cuno\u0219tin\u021b\u0103 \u00een textul anterior) \u0219i pre\u0219edintele Chinei (proasp\u0103t intrat \u00een scen\u0103) v\u0103z\u00e2ndu-se obliga\u021bi s\u0103 fac\u0103 fa\u021b\u0103, \u00eempreun\u0103, noii amenin\u021b\u0103ri globale: o gigantic\u0103 astronav\u0103 extraterestr\u0103 (premiza aminte\u0219te de filmul artistic Ziua Independen\u021bei<\/em>[2], dar intriga evolueaz\u0103 \u00eentr-o alt\u0103 direc\u021bie, de sorginte neofantastico-teologic\u0103) acoper\u0103 cerul planetei noastre cu un nor rezidual straniu, prin care nu r\u0103zbat razele Soarelui.<\/p>\n

\u00cen schi\u021ba Conversa\u021bie la cafenea<\/em>, un scriitor cu imagina\u021bie debordant\u0103 prime\u0219te o vizit\u0103 \u0219i o cerere de ajutor de la … Universul \u00een persoan\u0103.<\/p>\n

Povestirea \u00cen a\u0219teptarea lui Mesia<\/em> asigur\u0103, credem, punctul de interes maxim al colectaneului: tat\u0103l unei feti\u021be achizi\u021bioneaz\u0103 pentru aceasta un android cucernic, v\u00e2ndut la pre\u021b redus din cauza faptului c\u0103 obi\u0219nuie\u0219te s\u0103 citeasc\u0103 Biblia<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Loteria genetic\u0103<\/em> \u00eencepe extrem de promi\u021b\u0103tor, d\u00e2ndu-ne speran\u021ba c\u0103 ar putea fi un segment al ciclului \u00eenchinat de autor straniei lumi a arti\u0219tilor de circ (precum ale sale Rafael<\/em> \u0219i Cel din urm\u0103 unicorn<\/em>, despre care am scris cu alt\u0103 ocazie) ori o povestire bioSF. Din p\u0103cate, \u00eens\u0103, povestirea se dovede\u0219te a nu avea leg\u0103tur\u0103 cu men\u021bionatul ciclu, alunec\u00e2nd \u0219i \u00een afara sferei \u0219tiin\u021bifico-fantasticului, prin r\u0103sturnarea de situa\u021bie de natur\u0103 neofantastic\u0103 (prea) histrionico-absurdist\u0103.<\/p>\n

O raz\u0103 prostu\u021b\u0103 de soare<\/em> ne prezint\u0103 o bizar\u0103 aventur\u0103 tr\u0103it\u0103 de un aviator britanic \u00een Al Doilea R\u0103zboi Mondial: dobor\u00e2t de nem\u021bi \u00eentr-un de\u0219ert din nordul Africii, este salvat prin interven\u021bia unei entit\u0103\u021bi cosmice \u00eendr\u0103gostite.<\/p>\n

Uimitoarele aventuri ale unui inseminator <\/em>exploateaz\u0103 teoria conform c\u0103reia specia uman\u0103 ar fi ap\u0103rut ca urmare a fecund\u0103rii hominidelor dinainte de \u201eHomo sapiens\u201d de c\u0103tre vizitatori extratere\u0219tri (teorie alimentat\u0103 \u0219i de unele men\u021biuni din Biblie<\/em>, spre exemplu: \u201es-au \u00eempreunat fiii lui Dumnezeu cu fetele oamenilor \u015fi le-au n\u0103scut ele copii\u201d).
