Gadda, Carlo Emilio
Born Nov. 14, 1893, in Milan. Italian writer. Gadda began his literary career at the end of the 1920’s. His talent unfolded after Italy’s liberation from fascism: the antifascist collection Stories From the Duchy Aflame (1953) and the satirical-grotesque novel Acquainted With Grief (final version, 1963). His most characteristic work is the novel That Awful Mess on Via Merulana (1948; final version, 1957), which depicts life in Rome under fascism. Uniquely interwoven in Gadda’s works are elements of verism and satire as well as a refined psychologism. The writer exposes the mores of bourgeois Italy. Elements of various dialects and slang are merged in Gadda’s complex language. WORKSLa madonna dei filosofi. Florence, 1931.Il castello di Udine. Florence, 1934. Eros e Priapo. Milan, 1967.

No references found | Among the Italian writers featured in Il Verri, Carlo Emilio Gadda became a primary example, in an Italian context, of a new kind of excessive language able to subvert its very systemic limitations by displaying its internal inconsistencies. The initial thought behind this ambitious and broadly-based study of the pre-war novels of Celine (Voyage au bout de la nuit, Mort a credit), the diaries, essays, and fiction of Carlo Emilio Gadda, and the early English-language fiction of Samuel Beckett (up to and including Murphy) is primarily, its author explains, a polemical one. Cain's depiction of the casual brutality of everyday American life took on its own political overtones) or the remarkable novel by Carlo Emilio Gadda known in English as That Awful Mess on Via Merulana, a crime novel in a quasi-Joycean key, set amid the banality of Fascist Rome. |
