Un estudiante localiza una novela de Walt Whitman perdida desde hace 165 años

de la misma noticia:

Vida y aventuras de Jack Engle, al que se puede acceder a través de la web The Walt Whitman Quarterly Review, es un relato en primera persona de las aventuras de un huérfano. Es una novela de misterio urbano, un género muy común en su tiempo.

Según el diario estadounidense, Zachary Turpin, un estudiante de la Universidad de Houston, es el autor de este hallazgo. El pasado verano, encontró un cuaderno de notas en el que se podían apreciar esquemas sobre distintas tramas y tres nombres: Smytthe, Jack Engle y Wigglesworth. Tiró del hilo y halló un anuncio de 1852 del The New York Daily Times sobre la publicación de esta novela, descrita como "reveladora y entretenida". Así que rastreó los últimos ejemplares de ese diario, ahora desaparecido, que guarda la Biblioteca Nacional, y encontró los textos.

Este joven se ha convertido ya en un buscatesoros para los círculos literarios. El año pasado anunció el descubrimiento de Manly Health and Training, una especie de libro de autoayuda que Whitman habría publicado en 1858 en The New York Atlas y del que tampoco se sabía nada.

America - Sister Golden Hair (HQ Original)

In 1980, I was in the Navy waiting at Honolulu International for a late night flight to the Philippine Islands when I ran across a couple of drunk dudes looking for a place to buy beer in the airport. I told them it would be across the airport, so we hopped on a cart and bought a lot of beer to drink while waiting on the flight. I thought I recognized them. Well in our conversation, I learned it was the boys from America. Once we boarded the flight we partied all the way across, I learned a lot of the bands history and some about their song writing. It was a cool hop. They gave me tickets and a backstage pass to their show in Manila. Bummer is, as soon as we arrived in Manila. I was picked up by my fellow sailors and we boarded our submarine and were soon underway. It was a cool trip....I loved America then and still enjoy them now. Seventies music can't be beat. Rock on!!!

Well I tried to make it Sunday, but I got so damn depressed
That I set my sights on Monday and I got myself undressed
I ain't ready for the altar but I do agree there's times
When a woman sure can be a friend of mine

Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Sister Golden Hair surprise
And I just can't live without you; can't you see it in my eyes?
I been one poor correspondent, and I been too, too hard to find
But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind

Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in the air?
Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care?
Well I tried to fake it, I don't mind sayin', I just can't make it

Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Sister Golden Hair surprise

Now I been one poor correspondent, and I been too, too hard to find
