SALE ON NOW! PROMOTIONS
Three writers of the twentieth century have given voice to--and leant their names to--our disquiet, our injuries, and our fear; at the same time, through the catharsis or measure of contemplation, which are among the revelations of art, they have helped us to live by tempering our anxiety and desperation; and I am using this term, tempering, in a musical sense...of striking a more pure, more cristalline, more vibrant note. These three writers are Pirandello, Kafka, and Borges.-- Leonardo Sciascia Very funny, often hilariously so. It is also moving, disturbing, tragic. For Pirandello saw comedy residing in -the fundamental contradiction ... between human aspiration and frailty, - a contradiction that induced -a certain perplexity between weeping and laughing.--- The New York Times Book Review
