O escritor canadense Yann Martel autor do llivro Life of Pi se engajou no projeto de tornar o primeiro ministro do Canada Stephen Harper um pouco mais "lido" e se comprometeu em mandar um livro a cada duas semanas com uma dedicatoria e uma explicacao sobre porque o livro foi escolhido.
Achei isso barbaro!!! E vou checar a lista de Martel e tentar ler algumas de suas sugestoes. Seria tao maravilhoso se alguem se dedicasse a reeducar Lula tambem, nao acham?
E um trechinho...
Who is this man? What makes him tick? No doubt he is busy. No doubt he is deluded by that busyness. No doubt being Prime Minister fills his entire consideration and froths his sense of busied importance to the very brim. And no doubt he sounds and governs like one who cares not a jot for the arts.
But he must have moments of stillness. And so this is what I propose to do: not to educate—that would be arrogant, less than that—to make suggestions to his stillness. For as long as Stephen Harper is Prime Minister of Canada, I vow to send him every two weeks, mailed on a Monday, a book that has been known to expand stillness.
That book will be inscribed and will be accompanied by a letter I will have written. I will faithfully report on every new book, every inscription, every letter, and any esponse I might get from the Prime Minister, on this website.
