42. Calvino's Novels, By Gore Vidal Detailed 1973 review and analysis of the author s works to date by Gore Vidal. http://www.emory.edu/EDUCATION/mfp/novels.html

Calvino's Novels by Gore Vidal B etween the end of the Second World War in and the beginning of the Korean War in there was a burst of creative activity throughout the American empire as well as in client states of Western Europe. From Auden's Age of Anxiety to Carson McCullers' Reflections in a Golden Eye to Paul Bowle s The Sheltering Sky to Tennessee Williams's A Streetcar Named sire to Tudor's ballets and to Bernstein's enthusiasms, it was n exciting time. The cold war was no more than a nip in the air while the junior senator from Wisconsin was just another genial pol with a drinking problem and an eye for the boys. In that happy time the young American writer was able to reel in triumph through the old cities of Europethe exchange rate entirely in his favor. Twenty-six years ago this spring I arrived in Rome. First impressions: Acid-yellow forsythia on the Janiculum. Purple wisteria in the Forum. Chunks of goat on a plate in a trattoria. Samuel Barber at the American Academy, talking Italian accurately. Harold Acton politely deploring our barbarous presence in his Europe. Frederick Prokosch at Doney's, eating cakes. Streets empty of cars. Had there been traffic of any kind, Tennessee Williams would have been planted long since in the Protestant cemetery, for he drove a jeep although "I am practically

The Newsletter of The Council for the Literature of the Fantastic Volume 1, Number 5 (1998) Click HERE to return to the table of contents. Numbers in the Dark and Other Stories by Italo Calvino (1996 Vintage, translated by Tim Parks) Review by Joe Cadora For the reader unfamiliar with Italo Calvino, Numbers in the Dark offers an almost painless entree into the full range of his work, comprising as it does thirty-seven stories, fables, and fantastic interviews which range his career from beginning to end. And it is in short form that Calvino is most accessible, where his intellectual flights of fancy will not put off or lose the casual reader as can sometimes happen in his longer works. Calvino has most often been compared to the other major modern fantasists; Jorge Luis Borges, Gabriel Garcia-Marquez, and Franz Kafka. Borges' work, his ficciones, as he calls them, are intellectual labyrinths which draw on his erudition as much as his literary skill while Garcia-Marquez' magical realism aims to turn the mundane into the miraculous and vice versa. But it is Kafka who has really put his stamp on this century, and it may well be Calvino who puts his mark on the next. Combining the intellect and curiosity of Borges, the magical qualities of Garcia-Marquez, and the surreal atmosphere of Kafka, Calvino has created a literature with, arguably, a broader range than any of the others, and more than the others he is rooted in the post-modern world, having come of age fighting against the Nazis with the partisans in his native Italy.

Calvino, Italo From New World Encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Previous (Italian unification) Next (Italy) Italo Calvino (October 15, 1923 – September 19, 1985) was an Italian writer and novelist . Calvino began his career as a communist , but in 1957, resigned from the party. His early works were influenced by his participation in the Resistance during World War II , but from the 1950s he became primarily a writer of fantasy. Calvino was a member of Oulipo Oulipo is an acronym for Ouvroir de littérature potentielle, which translates roughly as "workshop of potential literature." It is a loose gathering of (mainly) French-speaking writers and mathematicians which endeavored to create works using constrained writing techniques. It was founded in 1960, by Raymond Queneau and François Le Lionnais, but included novelists like Georges Perec and Calvino, and poets like Oskar Pastior or Jacques Roubaud, also a widely-known mathematician. The term littérature potentielle can be roughly translated as: "the seeking of new structures and patterns which may be used by writers in any way they enjoy." Constraints are used as a means of triggering ideas and inspiration, most notably Perec's "story-making machine," which he used in the construction of Life: A User's Manual .

Italo Calvino: Unter der Jaguar-Sonne (Erzählung) Kritik: In der elegant geschriebenen Erzählung "Unter der Jaguar-Sonne", die auch Züge der fantastischen Literatur aufweist, geht es um den Geschmacksinn. Italo Calvino: Unter der Jaguar-Sonne Inhalt: Ein Touristenpaar lässt sich während einer Mexiko-Reise auf die Gaumenfreuden der Landesküche ein, und während die sexuelle Erregung zwischen den beiden abnimmt, frönen sie einer Art erotisch-kannibalischer Genusssucht. Originaltitel: Sotto il sole giaguaro Garzanti Editore, Mailand 1986 Unter der Jaguar-Sonne Übersetzung: Burkhart Kroeber Carl Hanser Verlag, München / Wien 1987 Deutscher Taschenbuch Verlag, München 1991 Italo Calvino: Unter der Jaguar-Sonne Inhaltsangabe: Der Erzähler unternimmt mit seiner Geliebten Olivia eine Mexiko-Reise. In ihrem Hotel in Oaxaca (sprich: Uacháka), das früher ein Kloster war, fällt ihnen in einem zur Bar "Las Novicias" führenden Salon ein Ölgemälde auf, auf dem eine der Äbtissinnen und ein alter Kaplan zu sehen sind. Dreißig Jahre lang, so erfahren die Touristen, verband eine ebenso große wie keusche Liebe die Ordensfrau und ihren Beichtvater. Als der Priester starb, erkrankte die zwanzig Jahre jüngere Äbtissin und verschied ebenfalls. [...] das Wort [von der großen Liebe] in seiner spirituellen Bedeutung sublimierte die körperliche Erregung, ohne sie jedoch auszulöschen (Seite 34)

The astrological detail may seem innocuous, but it is perhaps revealing of the ambivalence running through the Italian writer’s work. Calvino does, in fact, use humor to express his concern over what the modern world is becoming, and the place that man may yet take in it. Bearing at one and the same time the imprint of realism and the fantastic, his fiction writing—novels and extended short stories—has shown him to be one of the most original authors of postwar Italian literature. But it is also through his work as an editor, journalist, and essayist that Calvino has commanded attention as one of the outstanding figures of the cultural life of his country. Italo Calvino Six Memos for the Next Millennium (1988) brings together in one place five lectures (he had not yet written the sixth when he died), which Calvino was to have given at Harvard University. Working around five themes which he anchored within a literary discussion—lightness, quickness, exactitude, visibility, and multiplicity—Calvino attempted to draw up a memorandum for the forthcoming millennium, so that the aging world, with the weight of its problems and anxieties, should not find itself unprepared to face the future. In this posthumous book, we once again find the literary and existentialist questionings which guided Calvino throughout his work.

BÜCHERMARKT Italo Calvino: "Ein General in der Bibliothek", Coverausschnitt (Bild: Carl Hanser Verlag) Literarische Visitenkarte Italo Calvino: "Ein General in der Bibliothek" Von Maike Albath Italo Calvino litt unter einem bemerkenswerten Schreibzwang. Seine Gedanken zu Papier zu bringen, war für ihn ebenso alltäglich wie Luftholen. Ob Zuhause in Turin, im Hotelzimmer oder auf Reisen, ob an der Schreibmaschine oder mit einem Notizblock auf den Knien, Italo Calvino erfand unablässig Geschichten, schrieb Romankapitel nieder und entwarf Erzähltheorien. Und zwischendurch verfasste er in seiner Funktion als Lektor des renommierten Verlagshauses Einaudi auch noch Gutachten, korrigierte Manuskripte, brachte große editorische Projekte auf den Weg und versorgte seine Autoren mit ermunternden Briefen, angefüllt von minuziösen Kommentaren des Gelesenen. Erst nach und nach kommen wir auch in Deutschland in den Genuss der vielfältigen Produkte dieses literarischen Tausendsassas. Ein General in der Bibliothek heißt ein Band mit Erzählungen, der in Italien posthum erschien und jetzt in der leichtfüßigen Übersetzung von Burkhart Kroeber zum ersten Mal auf deutsch vorliegt.
