Library Journal: Calvino is best known as a fabulist, and indeed his writing, nearly always short forms or broken up episodically in the case of his novels Mr. Palomar and Invisible Cities (1978), justifies itself not by character or plot but in moral and meaning. . . . The early pieces, written during the last days of fascism in Italy, reflect a concern with the survival of human relationships in a time of over-weening government and takes a bitter delight in the unpracticed exercise of authority by ordinary men. Later stories reflect on the conflict between imagination and repetitive industrial labor. . . . Later works include an interview with the sole surviving Neaderthal and a chat with Henry Ford about his invasive business practices. These stories reward the patient reader with wisdom, humor, and insight. Highly recommended for collections of literary fiction. Annotation copyright H.W. Wilson Company. |
