Italo Calvino: A Journey Toward PostmodernismUniversity Press of Florida, 1999 - 168 sidor "Markey emphasizes the coherence of Calvino's literary production and convincingly and carefully argues that postmodernism--first latent and then increasingly (and exasperatingly) overt--is Calvino's essential muse."--Wiley Feinstein, Loyola University, Chicago "By thoroughly and persuasively interpreting and explaining Calvino's contributions to the postmodern esthetic, this book provides not only a better appreciation of postmodern literature but a better understanding of our postmodern world, where reality and textuality mingle, a world which Calvino anticipated, interrogated, and ultimately helped to fashion, and one which Markey now helps us to perceive and comprehend."--Sante Matteo, Miami University This primer for Italo Calvino fans looks at the international author in English translation, appraising his place in world literature and tracing his development as a postmodern writer from the start of his career during World War II to his death in 1985. |
