Don't you think it's impossible to talk about what these literary monsters are ? A reader – or was she a reader? She – she asked me to write about it a few days ago and so I thought about which authors I consider unattainable in terms of skill and narrative depth. It is a list of 11 writers - in alphabetical order so as not to offend anyone - which cannot remain unchanged, it is obviously an incomplete list. Curious thing: there are 6 Italian and 5 American writers. Italo Calvino When you read Calvino, you understand that you have entered another world. No, maybe you got right into his head, among all those weird ideas that actually work, that in the end make you look at everyday reality as it is, full of its magic but also of his defects.
I found his writing fresh, classic, clean, evocative and modern at the same time. Perhaps he cannot be classified as a writer and including him among the modern classics is just a way of saying "Hey, you're a great author, in the meantime we'll put you here, waiting for the Calvinian literary genre to be born". Philip K. Dick The first novel of his that I read Phone Number Data was Ubik , which I didn't like, then I decided to give it another chance - of course, it takes giving Dick a chance - also because I had bought his other books. So I read 3 more novels, all of which I liked, and picked up more. Dick is associated with science fiction, but he didn't only write in this genre. Based on only 4 novels read, I would say that Philip K.
Dick wrote American history in his own way, that the setting was just an excuse to talk about some human problem. How does Dick write? I can't say, honestly, his writing is without frills, at times harsh, at times even poetic, but with a melancholic poetry. Dick is realistic, that's my impression. Umberto Eco It wasn't easy to read and I've only read The Name of the Rose by him and I still have to start The Prague Cemetery . I believe that approaching Eco means touching the Italian language in all its power, touching a writing that can never belong to us. When I read that novel, it felt like I was reading a classic, a work that should not have been printed in the modern era, but several decades earlier.
