Solitudes
by Goffredo Parise
On This Page
Description
Goffredo Parise's quest to capture the essence of human sentiment in prose-poem form resulted in the publication in 1972 of SILLABARIO N. 1, which contained 22 stories with titles proceeding alphabetically. Characterized by the same clarity found in ABECEDARY, SOLITUDES is a series of exquisite miniatures that form a bittersweet exploration of the joy and the melancholy of life.Tags

Scritto a dieci anni di distanza dal primo Sillabario, ne mantiene premesse e stile ed è in gran parte all'altezza anche nei risultati, perdendo qualche colpo forse solo in chiusura, giustificando la "perdita d'ispirazione" con cui lo stesso Parise motivò il fatto di essersi fermato alla lettera S. Come nota N. Ginzburg in postfazione, prevalgono sentimenti si solitudine e amarezza, ma il Sillabario non è privo di gioia, amore e bellezza. Per certo, uno dei vertici di Parise (e del racconto italiano).
