Resignation (Indiana University Press, Bloomington, 1994), On
Suicide: a discourse on voluntary death (Indiana University Press,
Bloomington, 1999) - and for the anti-Flaubert novel Charles

DIARIO DI MILAIDIS
DE LOS
ANGELES CASANOVA CARMINA My country is the night, says Anna Maria
Ortese. The
night as
solitude and silence which support the concentration and the work of
writing, when thought and fantasy, reflection and invention - far from
lights and voices of the day - can follow their path and switch on
their inner lights. The night as a representation of writing which
silences and closes the real voices into the dark in order to tell
them. |

SURREALISM |
|
 |
IL PESCESPADA E
LA SERRATURA Il pesce spada e la serratura [The swordfish
and the
lock] is a short
surrealistic text starting with a statement: the swordfish can not
look through the key-hole. |
 |
L'ALFABETO
DIMEZZATO A special alphabetiser, where simple or composed
consonants receive
the attention they deserve in the end. B, hard C, sweet C, passing
through GL, GN, H and finishing with W, X, Y, Z. Playing with funny
alliterations, the author composes 27 surrealistic micro stories, a
never naïf divertissement in the tradition of Munari and
Scialoja. Illustrated by the witty and imaginative Chiara Carrer. |

GLI OCCHIALI
FANTASTICI Lucio is a strange child. He sees things that do not
exist: martians, people who are waiting for the bus
without moving, giant chickens. Is he just very
imaginative or is there something else? The encounter with
a "great magician" with a white gown and strange
tools will change his life. The glasses the man will
give him are extraordinary and allow Lucio to see things
never seen. |

LA CODA
CANTERINA And if one morning you woke up with a tail singing nostalgic Russian songs, what would you do? Would you call the firefighters? Or the baker? The tobacconist? Or the butcher? The undertaker? Or even the mayor? That's what happens in a tiny village, « so small that its name was bigger that the village », when Ivan wakes up with a « beautiful, long, strong and mint » tail which doesn't stay quiet a second, sings and dances... Mad of joy, the singing tail will rush the procession of adults in an unexpected wandering that is going to make everybody dazed, happy and a bit wiser. |

FILASTROCCA DEI SEI
SENSI and L'ODE DELL'ACCIUGA

LA TERRE RESPIRE La terre respire is a hymn to the beauty of the world. One day two brothers ear a heartbeat and throw themselves into an adventure to find its source.

LA MACCHINA DI
CELESTINO The traffic in town is grey and chaotic. But Celestino has a wonderful idea: to paint his car in turquoise to cheer up the congested streets. However, the turquoise is not a neutral colour. Soon Celestino's car transforms into something else. Birds are the fist to realize it. Then flowers, fishes and eventually the whole town. A funny, ecological parabola whose protagonists are an inventive man, nature and one colour. |
