This collection's varied writings - stories, essays, journal entries, poems - spring forth from the shadows of Tabucchi's imagination, as he steps into worlds just hidden from view, and into intimate conversation with the artists and their works. Here is a diary written to Valerio Adami and his drawings with their insistent labyrinthian outlines that "we risk being caught inside . . . where we linger, delay our exit, and so are shipwrecked." Here are splashes of stories to Maria Helena Vieira da Silva and her colors, "a madder lacquer for the sound of a cello playing," a "sumptuous black" to see Titian step out from darkness. And tributes to the dreamy, story-telling landscapes of Tullio Pericolo, where Tabucchi soars with the painter and breathes deeply at the top of a distant volcano. From quiet windows, stamps of bright parrots, postcards of yellow cities, portraits of devilish Portuguese nuns, the way to Tabucchi's remote landscapes appears like a "train emerging from a thick curtain of heat." As we peer through the curtain, what we find on the other side rings distinctly human, a world charged with melancholic longing for time gone by. "Sight, hearing, voice, word," Tabucchi writes, "this flow isn't in one direction, the current is back and forth." Reading these pieces, one feels the pendulum current, and the desire in this remarkable author to hold the real in the surreal and to reflect, always, on the nature of art and life, as he converses with the artworks that have "often moved [his] pen."-- $c Publisher's description. 546 $a In English translated from Italian. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (page 203). 505 0 $a Author's note -- Adagios : So long -- Flames -- Rainy evening on a Holland dike -- Bernardo Soares on holiday -- Faraway -- The painter and his creatures -- A window onto the unknown -- Story of the man of paper -- Dreaming with Dacosta -- On the road to MoÌbius --An unforgettable night -- Hold it--don't wake up -- A discovered letter -- Double enigma -- The minotaur's headaches -- A midwinter night's dream -- Andantes, con brio : The heirs are grateful -- A difficult decision -- The lady-with-the-hat -- A curandeiro in the city on the water -- Ariettas : The arrival of Doctor Pereira -- The fixed traveler -- Like a mirror -- Portraits of Stevenson -- Spices, lace, distant journeys -- Dear wall, I'm writing you -- Diary of Crete, with hues of sinopia -- Outside terraces, inside terraces -- Parisian cafeÌs -- For a catalogue that isn't -- Translator's note -- Art. 600 10 $a Tabucchi, Antonio, $d 1943-2012 $v Translations into English. 600 17 $a Tabucchi, Antonio, $d 1943-2012. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01800010 650 0 $a Short stories, Italian $v Translations into English. 650 0 $a Intimacy (Psychology) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Loneliness $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Time $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Short stories, Italian. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01117243 650 7 $a Intimacy (Psychology) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977714 650 7 $a Loneliness. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01002214 650 7 $a Time. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01151043 655 7 $a Translations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423791 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726740 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Harris, Elizabeth, $d 1963- $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117030142.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=86D24BAE8FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
