Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
From one of modern literature’s most captivating and elusive masters comes a posthumous volume of thoughtful, elegant, and quick-witted autobiographical writings, all previously unpublished in English. Here is Italo Calvino paying homage to his literary influences and tracing the evolution of his signature style. Here are his reminiscences of Italy’s antifascist resistance and the frenzy of politics and ideas of the postwar era.
The longest and most delightfully revealing section of the book is Calvino’s diary of his travels in the United States in 1959 and 1960, which show him marveling at color TV, wrinkling his nose at the Beats, and reeling at the outpouring of racial hatred attending a civil rights demonstration in Alabama. Overflowing with insight and amusement, Hermit in Paris is an invaluable addition to the Calvino legacy.
Review:
"[A] folder of bits and pieces [that] barely qualify for the folder's subtitle, 'Autobiographical Writings'. True, they are about himself, but, with two or three exceptions, they are the palest in the ever more diluted succession of Calvino's posthumously issued books....There are some excellent things...; in some of the pieces there is also the hobble that interviews and other forms of solicited response clamp upon the gait of an imaginative artist."
Richard Eder, New York Times Book Review, 04/06/2003
