Italo Calvino and Reading a Wave. Reading a Wave. The sea is barely wrinkled, and little waves strike the sandy shore. Mr. Palomar is standing on the shore, looking at a wave.

Learning to be Dead Mr. Palomar decides that from now on he will act as if he were dead, to see how the world gets along without him. For some while he has realized that things between him and the world are no longer proceeding as they used to; before, they seemed to expect something of each other, he and the world; now he no longer recalls what there was to expect, good or bad, or why this. Mr. Palomar, whose name purposely evokes that of the famous telescope, is a seeker after knowledge, a visionary in a world sublime and ridiculous. Whether contemplating a cheese, a woman's breasts, or a gorilla's behavior, he brings us a vision of a world familiar by consensus, fragmented by the burden of individual perception. Editions.

Palomar è una raccolta di racconti di Italo Calvino pubblicata nel Si tratta del suo ultimo “opera” calviniana, e il titolo (che è anche il nome del protagonista) ne spiega le caratteristiche: un uomo pacato, ma in difficoltà con il mondo circostante, che egli osserva nei suoi più piccoli e minuti particolari. Il nome è dichiaratamente ispirato dall’ osservatorio astronomico di Monte Palomar, dove è collocato il famoso telescopio Hale, che diventa una metafora calviniana. Mr Palomar (, tr. William Weaver ) was the last book Calvino published in his lifetime. From that you might assume that this innovative author, forever progressing and never writing the same book twice, was at the apogee of his ingenuity. You would be right.
