Amazon patron reviews:
1.) Landolfi has been referred to as "the Italian Kafka" (according to the blurb at the again of the book), without doubt a result of surrealistic parts in his brief tales. for instance, Landolfi imagines Gogol's spouse as an inflatible creature to be manipulated in response to Gogol's will. In "Dialogue of the better Harmonies," a guy learns a nonexistent language and feels cheated that the poems he has written in it will probably by no means rather be shared. via his tales, Landolfi stocks deeper matters in regards to the significance of relationships and language and verbal exchange. it's unlucky that his paintings isn't really greater known.
2.) a wierd, clever writer this present day little recognized even the following in Italy, Tommaso Landolfi wrote numerous splendidly bizarre and surrealistic tales, oscillating between irony, nightmare and worry. think me: an exceptional author, and never a "great italian" author, yet a very good one, interval. should you love Calvino and Cortazar and, more often than not, the glorious literature, you'll leave out whatever should you don't understand Landolfi.

Behind an inscription, my dear sir, there is also an entire people! But behind any of these poems there is nothing but a whim. So then, who will guarantee for us that the same ex pression does not change its meaning radically from one instance to the next? In the separate compositions, or in the very same composition there is, I beg you to observe, not one word which is repeated twice throughout all three poems. ” “ I beg your pardon, I beg your pardon,” the great critic shouted, beside himself, “it is just because of this that the problem is quickly resolved.
By its very nature, a result can be evaluated only in terms of the means employed. Except with God, absolute results do not exist, and the very concept of a result is a relative concept. Results range along an infinite ideal scale, though inside the limits of a single moral value. But let us not digress. ” A tomblike silence had fallen in the office of the great critic. Letting his eyes stare into the void, he pretended not to have heard my question. ’ “ I have only one poem with me,” faltered Y.
You can’t get out of it that easily. Now you’re in danger of relying on a sophism yourself. You are taking it for granted that what is involved is a work of art. But this is precisely what has to be examined: where and what are the criteria you use for your evaluation? Let me sum up my preceding argument.
