The power of wizard-author literature

From: Visar Zhiti

(On the novel of the writer Bashkim Shehu, "The triptych of magicians")

These days I've been stuck with the novel "Triptych of the magicians", which really has literary magic, since the triptych is like a fourth part, broken into three parts, that of the magician-author, who reveals knowledge and sovereignly owns all that subject, unreadable easily and in the reading... the book, shehu union

When I finished the novel, I felt like a hollow, like the image of the hollow earth I found in its pages. It is a work that has eroded events, facts, fantasy, mystery, escape, women, murder, mythology, Greek antiquity, Egypt, the Kremlin, tyrants, Nazi-fascism-communism, their continents, continents of tyrants and times of tyrants, craggy countries, Austria, Germany, Russia, Albania, China, etc., an absorption that does not stop, even when it ends, it is not over yet... and as a continuation of the erosion that I said, it also erodes its reader, it eats it, to said that this is how they eat, without realizing it...

The connections in the novel are fantastic, the truth there is more fantastic, the real names confuse the situation even more, in one like all time and all place, meeting yourself is scary, you doubt in the present that you are not, but the future of the past, so you are not, where are you and will you be when you are not, etc., etc. The entire novel is written with a masterly "coldness", as if it scolds you, as if it blames you and then exonerates you. It really is an innovation, a trend that was missing, as far as I know, at least in Albanian literature.
