Exploring a distinct but unexamined Kafkan tradition in modern Italian literature, the book both brings Italian literary works into larger debates in which and reorients the critical view of the Italian literary landscape. This book calls attention to the way Kafkan themes, narrative strategies, and formal experimentation appear in a range of Italian authors. Offering new perspectives on familiar figures, such as Italo Calvino, Italo Svevo, and Elena Ferrante, it also sheds light on some less well-known authors, including Tommaso Landolfi, Paola Capriolo, and Lalla Romano. Using diverse approaches to explore thematic, generic, historical, and cultural connections between Kafka's works and those of Italian authors, the chapters argue for a new view of Italian literature that includes talking animals, parental bonds, modernist realism, literary detective novels, and lyrical microfiction. Whereas Kafka has been mobilized in discourses on minor and world literature, this book investigates the particular nature of the Italian reception of Kafka to reveal the richness and variety of modern Italian literature."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 257-291) and index. 600 10 $a Kafka, Franz, $d 1883-1924 $x Influence. 600 10 $a Kafka, Franz, $d 1883-1924 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Kafka, Franz, $d 1883-1924. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00073986 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Italian literature $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a Influence (Literary, artistic, etc.) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00972484 650 7 $a Italian literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00980660 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 830 0 $a Toronto Italian studies. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317025357.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C9DD33AC68DD11EA9C5A9E4D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
