Daniel Defoe: La vita e le avventure di Robinson Crusoe

Daniel Defoe: La vita e le avventure di Robinson Crusoe
21 sep 17
Re-read later in life, in its entirety, it will appear to us as a new book: for example, as a parable of modern man, eager, determined to dominate the world outside of him, and who finds his salvation in the creation of objects, which "restores dignity and beauty to common actions, to common things." The fundamental data of the story are now known to us, and our attention will be free to focus on the details, on those minute facts that Defoe's art employs (and it can also be said that he was the first great modern "reporter") to make such an "extraordinary" story plausible. "Reiterating that in the foreground there is nothing but a clay bowl," as Virginia Woolf says, "he persuades us to see remote islands, and the solitude of the human soul." (from Adelphi)

It can happen one day that you have to fly alone, and get lost just as one can get lost in life. It will then be necessary to understand the magnitude of the mistake, to balance between instinct and maneuvers, dizziness and equilibrium... (einaudi.it)

Six worlds and six stories of today's imagination...

- A piece of music lost in the ether is the motive for an anonymous murder.
- Violating death becomes possible through persuasion with the seduction of discourse.
- The ruthless and precise account of a hand-to-hand struggle that transcends fiction to become a direct experimentation of Evil.
- A rogue Neapolitan night ends in a deadly nightmare that takes us back to the eighteenth century.
- An ancient fortress, resembling a magical object, summons bodies into battle and a real victim of the era into pure virtuality.
- The passage of a comet turns the act of observing into bitterness.

Daniil Charms: Casi

Charms himself alluded once to the peculiarity of his way of being with words that were strikingly simple, direct, and precise:
"I am only interested in 'nonsense', only in that which has no practical meaning.
Life interests me only in its absurd manifestation.
Heroism, pathos, daring, morality, emotion, and risk are words and feelings that I find detestable.
But I perfectly understand and admire: enthusiasm and exaltation, inspiration and despair, passion and reserve, debauchery and chastity, sadness and pain, joy and laughter." (cit. Adelphi)

Daniil Charms: Disastri
10 oct 17
- Eccentric, cruel, strictly musical, gratuitous, Charms' literature is a dizzying antidote against any established order.
- This funny, paradoxical, hilarious book that the reader will enjoy with a smile on their lips for the sharpness and humorous intelligence of its situations, cost its author in 1941 his arrest, internment, and then death in a psychiatric clinic. According to Stalin, Charms was a dissenting voice against the dictatorship of the proletariat; he was "just a little man incapable of experiencing the joy of the man who has learned the new language of a new world" (from einaudi.it)

Dario Fo: Mistero Buffo
16 oct 17
"Because, following the tradition of medieval jesters, it mocks power by restoring dignity to the oppressed."
Motivation for the Nobel Prize in Literature 1997
"In all of Italy, Fo is known as an actor, but little as an 'author.' Yet around the world, his texts are known and performed." Umberto Eco
Mistero Buffo is the most famous of Dario Fo's works and also the one that has sparked the most controversy... (wiki)
Irony, sarcasm, the jest of La strage degli innocenti, Moralità del cieco e dello storpio, Bonifacio VIII, or the drama of Maria alla Croce... are the hallmarks of Mistero Buffo, a text and a perfect theatrical mechanism that, with the pleasure of desecrating everything... tells the silent, millennia-old story of the subordinate classes in a political and social satire that retains its corrosive impact over time. (einaudi.it)

    An authentic servant of the system, Fo. Horrifying, among other things, in the features of his face, highly disheveled and irregular.

Domenico + 2 is a Brazilian collective, now on their second outing, formed in 1998 from the minds and desires of Moreno Veloso (the son of Caetano), Domenico Lancellotti (of Calabrian descent, offspring of the composer Ivor Lancellotti), and Alexandre Kassim (a collaborator of, among others, Arto Lindsay and Caetano Veloso).

While the previous Music Typewriter, credited to Moreno + 2, showcased Veloso Jr. as the protagonist, this time it is Domenico's turn to navigate the blend of Brazilian tradition and retro pop. (source: sentireascoltare.com)

- The narrator of the novel is David Bell, a former television executive and later an avant-garde director. The story begins with an investigation into the existential malaise of the modern corporate man. Then the novel transforms, starting to question the power of cinema to distort reality. Bell creates an autobiographical road movie. The story addresses the roots of American social pathologies...

- The first half of the novel can be interpreted as a critique of the corporate world, while the rest focuses on the fears and dilemmas of contemporary American life. (wikipedia)

The late Seventies: it's the period of the Islamic revolution in Iran, the energy crisis, and terrorist kidnappings.
James Axton, an American who conducts risk analysis for an insurance company, is tasked with reporting on the geopolitical situation in the Middle East.
From his office in Athens, he visits his wife and son who live on a small island in the Aegean.
Here, Axton learns of a ritual murder, perhaps the last link in a mysterious chain of crimes.
And he begins to investigate, following the traces of a mysterious cult that fascinates him.
From Greece, the story unfolds through an exhilarating journey to the East.
A thriller that evokes the magical potential of language. (einaudi.it)

"White Noise is a sweet and wonderful dream of anguish." (Martin Amis)

- The first part is a chronicle of the absurdities of family life and a satire on the academic world.
- In the second part, a spill of chemical materials from a train car creates a toxic cloud, making evacuation necessary in the area where Jack lives.
- Worried about having been exposed to the toxin, Jack is forced to confront the possibility of dying.
- The novel becomes a reflection on the fear of death in modern society and the obsession with medical care, with Jack trying to purchase on the black market a drug believed to alleviate the fear of death.

Don DeLillo: Underworld
12 oct 17
- A novel that explodes the history, myths, and daily life of post-war America and reconstructs its remains. In a dizzying alternation of eras and figures... where protagonists and extras share the same space, where fictional characters coexist with Lenny Bruce and J. Edgar Hoover, the powerful head of the FBI... you find yourself transported from coast to coast, from one social class to another, from one ethnicity to another, in a collective destiny dominated by images and waste. Nuclear waste, generic trash, sentimental, erotic, and artistic fetishes. A fresco of America yesterday, today, and tomorrow, reminiscent of Altman's films... ranging from the baseball championship to Truman Capote's party, from the Texas Highway Killer to the Rolling Stones tour, employing an original and captivating narrative montage and the most diverse languages of the multiracial nation. (einaudi.it)

"Time seems to pass.

The world happens, moments unfold, and you stop to watch a spider attached to its web.

There is a sharp light, a sense of things outlined with precision, strips of liquid brilliance on the bay.

On a clear and bright day after a storm, when the smallest of fallen leaves is pierced with awareness, you know with greater certainty who you are."
