Ho letto tantissimi libri sulla mitologia greca (che amo da sempre), ma nulla, davvero nulla, riesce a eguagliare la poesia di Calasso. Per me è senza dubbio nella top ten dei libri più belli che abbia mai letto. 🥹❤️

Ayer tomando algo con @violetagarrido.bsky.social y @pablocl06.bsky.social hablábamos de la posibilidad de introducir el sorteo en la elección de las dirigencias. Hoy empiezo esto de Calasso y recuerda que Saúl, el primer Rey de Israel, fue elegido por sorteo. Por supuesto, también había sido…

Roberto Calasso. And when he died, I saved his last book unread so I would have something new to look forward from him for the rest of my life.

A fabulous book -- haunting, and also technical tour de force like Calvino, Roberto Calasso, Tokarczuk. And LeGuin.

🌟Shortlisted for the 2025 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction🌟

Revolutionary-minded and dizzyingly intricate, Vajra Chandrasekera’s Rakesfall defies narrative expectations as it considers history, power, perspective, resistance, and the “dread scale” of myth and nightmare.
A copy of Rakesfall—the hot pink cover of which depicts a skull surrounded by flowers and vines—sits on a black surface against a white wall. A small pot next to it contains a vine-like plant, which is draped across the top of the book. The Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction Shortlist medal is in the upper right corner of the photo. "We put on a play for ourselves, we ghosts, we people, we devils, with our superstitions like solidity, objects, time, or justice. We live in confusion, we swim in it. But the world is not a river to swim in; it is a glacial ocean, always whole, already complete." —Vajra Chandrasekera, Rakesfall

Sto guardando su Raiplay il film su Battiato, e mi chiedo come facesse Fleur Jaeggy a resistere in mezzo alle sipercazzole metafisiche, da una parte del marito Roberto Calasso, dall'altra del suo più caro amico Franco Battiato. Un fuoco incrociato, una manovra a tenaglia.

There's a mini genre of publisher memoirs--Calasso, Korda, going back Doubleday, etc. Is there a publisher memoir written by a woman?

Wolfe feels to me like a religious writer first and a conservative second (though he is a conservative!)

Other stuff:

Lord Of The Rings
Roberto Calasso, THE RUIN OF KASCH
THE WASTE LAND I guess?
Cerebus The Aardvark w/caveats

«Fu Roberto Calasso, che con Adelphi ha pubblicato i miei primi libri, a suggerirmi di scrivere, testimoniare, proprio perché all'epoca ero una bambina e come tale innocente».
