Editor's Note:
Vanessa Barbara tem um texto irresistível. Com iguais doses de graça e delicadeza, humor e algum escárnio ela produz crônicas que parecem ocupar um lugar movediço e intermediário entre o comentário cultural, a reportagem, a antropologia de bolso e - claro! - a própria tradição desse gênero tão adorado pelos brasileiros. Em O louco de palestra estão reunidos alguns dos melhores e mais deliciosos textos da jovem escritora brasileira. Originalmente publicadas em jornais (como Folha de S.Paulo e Estado de S. Paulo) e revistas (como piauí), as crônicas versam sobre o bairro paulistano do Mandaqui - a zoada Combray de Vanessa -, seus tipos peculiares e sua animada vida social, hilariantes “resenhas” de linhas de ônibus, comentários sobre televisão, observações sobre o urbanismo paulistano e (como no caso da crônica que empresta seu título ao livro) a cristalização de um tipo que sempre existiu, mas que, graças às palavras de Vanessa Barbara, alcançou a eternidade: o “louco de palestra”, aquele sujeito meio abilolado que intervém, comenta e causa em palestras, conferências, debates, colóquios. O texto, publicado na revista piauí, é hoje um pequeno clássico da nova crônica brasileira.Num dos mais delicados textos do livro (não por acaso escrito à maneira de Rubem Braga), pode-se ler: “Queria escrever um texto bonito, algo que a moça das verduras pudesse levar consigo no ônibus após um dia sem couves, e que ela fosse reler de mansinho e recortar para as amigas”. Com O louco de palestra, Vanessa Barbara chegou lá. Ela faz rir e emociona.
