41. Italo Calvino Excerpt
    Passage from If on a winter s night a traveller.

    Extractions: ... I'm speaking to you two, a fairly unrecognisable tangle under the rumpled sheet. Maybe afterward you will go your separate ways and the story will again have to shift gears painfully, to alternate between the feminine tu voi , a second person plural, you are two tu s, more separate and circumscribed than before. (This is already true now, when you are still occupied, each with the other's presence, in an exclusive fashion. Imagine how it will be in a little while, when ghosts that do not meet will frequent your minds, accompanying the encounters of your bodies tested by habit.) Ludmilla, now you are being read. Your body is being subjected to a systematic reading, through channels of tactile information, visual, olfactory, and not without some intervention of the taste buds. Hearing also has its role, alert to your gasps and your trills. It is not only the body that is, in you, the object of raeding: the body matters insofar as it is part of a complex of elaborate elements, not all visible and not all present, but manifested in visible and present events: the clouding of your eyes, your laughing, the words you speak, your way of gathering and spreading your hair, your initiatives and your reticences, and all the signs that are on the frontier between you and usage and habits and memory and prehistory and fashion, all codes, all the poor alphabets by which one human being believes at certain moments that he is reading another human being.

    Extractions: Edizioni di riferimento Italo Calvino, " Italiani, vi esorto ai classici", «L'Espresso», 28 giugno 1981, pp. 58-68. Italo Calvino, Perché leggere i classici, Oscar Mondadori, Milano 1995 Cominciamo con qualche proposta di definizione. I classici sono quei libri di cui si sente dire di solito: «Sto rileggendo...» e mai «Sto leggendo...» Questo avviene almeno tra quelle persone che si suppongono «di vaste letture»; non vale per la gioventù, età in cui l'incontro col mondo, e coi classici come parte del mondo, vale proprio in quanto primo incontro. Il prefisso iterativo davanti al verbo «leggere» può essere una piccola ipocrisia da parte di quanti si vergognano d'ammettere di non aver letto un libro famoso. Per rassicurarli basterà osservare che per vaste che possano essere le letture «di formazione» d'un individuo, resta sempre un numero enorme d'opere fondamentali che uno non ha letto. Chi ha letto tutto Erodoto e tutto Tucidide alzi la mano. E Saint-Simon? E il cardinale di Retz? Ma anche i grandi cicli romanzeschi dell'Ottocento sono più nominati che letti. Balzac in Francia si comincia a leggerlo a scuola, e dal numero delle edizioni in circolazione si direbbe che si continua a leggerlo anche dopo. Ma in Italia se si facesse un sondaggio Doxa temo che Balzac risulterebbe agli ultimi posti. Gli appassionati di Dickens in Italia sono una ristretta élite di persone che quando s'incontrano si mettono subito a ricordare personaggi e episodi come di gente di loro conoscenza. Anni fa Michel Butor, insegnando in America, stanco di sentirsi chiedere di Emile Zola che non aveva mai letto, si decise a leggere tutto il ciclo dei Rougon-Macquart. Scoperse che era tutto diverso da come credeva: una favolosa genealogia mitologica e cosmogonica, che descrisse in un bellissimo saggio.

43. Moos: Italo Calvino As Author/Game-master In _If On A Winter's Night A Traveler_
    Essay on the metafictive elements of If on a winter s night a traveler from a literary theory perspective.  
    http://www.public.asu.edu/~dgilfill/digitaltexts/final_projects/moos/
    
    Extractions: Italo Calvino as Author/Game-master in If on a winter's night a traveler In an interview conducted in January 1978, one year before the publication of his novel If on a winter's night a traveler Iown ), Italo Calvino responded to a question about his future writing plans with these words: "What I keep open is fiction, a storytelling that is lively and inventive, as well as the more reflective kind of writing in which narrative and essay become one" (Calvino, Hermit in Paris 190). Calvino created this very type of fiction in Iown Iown we cannot ignore the sections of the novel that deal with aspects of writing, authorship, and publishing in ways that unabashedly reflect Calvino's own opinions and feelings. By speaking his opinions through his characters (who we as readers naturally identify with) Calvino is persuading us to identify with him, and is therefore able to maintain his position of control and authority. Thus, through the playful use of metafiction Calvino can achieve the creation of a novel that is both self-consciously reflective and "lively and inventive." Iown The game strategy emerges clearly [. . .] by creating suspense the author captures our interest, but he keeps deferring the consummation of our curiosity [. . .] In Calvino's game we, the readers, risk frustration: letting ourselves be dragged into the story, we are bound to suffer from aroused and dissatisfied curiosity. (Fink 3)

    Extractions: May 20, 2005 2:28 PM Subscribe Italo Calvino 's Invisible Cities is so called because it asserts that what makes up a city is not so much its physical structure but the impression it imparts upon its visitors, the way its inhabitants move within, something unseen that hums between the cracks. This, however, has in no way dissuaded people from attempting to give form to his works . One such example is the Hotel Tressants , a building in Menorca, Spain containing 8 rooms named after and inspired by various cities from the novel. Meanwhile, artists offer illustrations , installations , music and dance , hypertexts , computer programs and animations , even View-Master slides , while intellectuals offer readings and commentary , lectures , and critical texts sparked by the man and his writings. It has been dubbed "The Calvino Effect ". Do you know of any more?

"The artist Wayne Thiebaud contributed 12 drawings, with the idea that the images of cities and objects remain invisible until the reader takes action. To realize this concept, Andrew Hoyem designed the book with the drawings printed on clear plastic in different colors of inks, each matching the color of the following sheet. The images are revealed only when the transparent sheet is turned back onto the preceding page, a white sheet with printed text." Also: the related Souvenirs of Cities print .

    Extractions: Yes, in my childhood. But it must be pointed out that childhood boredom is a special kind of boredom. It is a boredom full of dreams, a sort of projection into another place, into another reality. In adulthood, boredom is made of repetition, it is the continuation of something from which we are no longer expecting any surprise. And I . . . would that I had time to get bored today! What I do have is the fear of repeating myself in my literary work. This is the reason that every time I must come up with a new challenge to face, I must find something to do that will look like a novelty, something a little beyond my capabilities.

Strongly influenced by the playful fantasy and moralistic content of the fable, as well as modern humanistic and ideological concerns, Calvino's work blends such devices as irony, symbolism, satire, and allegory with realistic detail to address such themes as love, alienation, existence, and identity.

60. Calvino As Urbanologist
    Essay on Invisible Cities, the Oulipo movement, and the sociology of writing.  
    http://home.earthlink.net/~hsbecker/calvino.html
    
    Extractions: Italo Calvino as Urbanologist Invisible Cities (Calvino 1974)is, on the surface, a series of conversations between an aging Kublai Khan and a young Marco Polo. Khan sees that his empire has grown so vast that it cannot be effectively governed, that it is "an endless, formless ruin" and that only in Polo's accounts can he see "the tracery of a pattern so subtle it could escape the termites' gnawing." "Kublai Khan does not necessarily believe everything Marco Polo says when he describes the cities visited on his expeditions . . . ," but he listens attentively to the fifty-five short descriptions of cities. So do we. The special quality of this city for the man who arrives there on a September evening, when the days are growing shorter and the multicolored lamps are lighted all at once at the doors of the food stalls and from a terrace a woman's voice cries ooh!, is that he feels envy toward those who now believe they have once before lived an evening identical to this and who think they were happy, that time. [p. 7] The language is evocative, even erotic ("a woman's voice cries ooh!"), and there is pleasure enough in that. Perhaps sociological matters need not be added. But the accumulation of fifty-five such descriptions leaves the reader feeling that there is something here beyond the layering of evocative images, that the book's title says it is about cities because Calvino has something to tell us about cities.
