Marcovaldo is a pure and innocent man, captivated by the simple things in life. I have tried to remove weight, sometimes from people, sometimes from heavenly bodies, sometimes from cities above all I have tried to remove weight from the structure of stories and from language." He wrote: " My working method has more often than not involved the subtraction of weight. Some of his writing has been called postmodern, reflecting on literature and the act of reading, while some has been labeled magical realist, others fables, others simply "modern". His style is not easy to classify much of his writing has an air reminiscent to that of fantastical fairy tales ( Our Ancestors, Cosmicomics), although sometimes his writing is more "realistic" and in the scenic mode of observation ( Difficult Loves, for example). His best known works include the Our Ancestors trilogy (1952-1959), the Cosmicomics collection of short stories (1965), and the novels Invisible Cities (1972) and If On a Winter's Night a Traveler (1979). He was a journalist and writer of short stories and novels. Urn:isbn:9001275842 Scandate 20110805152428 Scanner Calvino was born in Cuba and grew up in Italy.
