The Flavors of Modernity: Food and the Novel
From Rabelais's celebration of wine to Proust's madeleine and Virginia Woolf's boeuf en daube in To the Lighthouse , food has figured prominently in world literature. But perhaps nowhere has it played such a vital role as in the Italian novel. In a book flowing with descriptions of recipes, ingredients, fragrances, country gardens, kitchens, dinner etiquette, and even hunger, Gian-Paolo Biasin examines food images in the modern Italian novel so a…

Other Foods, Other Voices
Why is it that Italians eat such delicacies as shrimp and eel but don't even think of touching locusts and snakes, favored by certain African peoples? And how is it that Americans love beef and are genuinely scandalized at the idea of eating horse meat, which is on the contrary quite common in France? One of the most persistent forms of prejudice has to do with the attitude persons and peoples have toward the foods of others-the choices of the fo…

Literary Diseases: From Pathology to Ontology
ions of his thought, becomes the very disease of society and of history, the anguishing recognition that human reason cannot explain life, cannot control a world deprived of a teleology (as J. Hillis Miller points out in his The Disappearance of God), and cannot discover or cure the sorrow that lies behind our existence. Here disease, more than a metaphor, appears indeed as an ontological category. It is precisely along Michelstaedter's and Svevo…
The Prince and the Siren
The publication of Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa's short story Lighea has somewhat puzzled readers and critics, who have not been quite able to reconcile its light fantasy with the serious and realistic tone of II Gattopardo. In fact Lighea seems, at first sight, only a delightful fable. Young Paolo Corbera, the last descendant of Prince Fabrizio Salina, tells how he met the old senator and famed professor Rosario La Ciura, author of Uomini e dei,…
Messer Iacopo Giu Per Arno Se Ne Va
smetterSt di offrire spunti a una troppo facile retorica, non appena ci si renda conto del prezzo con cui fu pagata: liberta' di combattere in un mondo duramente opposto a ogni sforzo, ove ogni progresso e un'aspra conquista; caduta dell'idea rassicurante di un ordine dato, di una giustizia che per vie occulte alla fine e sempre fatalmente trionfa; una vita politica senza illusioni, ove le forze cozzano senza pietat, ove i vinti sono eliminati se…
