A tribute to Calvino*
Finely sifted and closely touched... The existence, soul, body and concerns of human existence should be put under a microscope and looked at. Far from words, in the light of science. One should only feel existence with pure reality.
But, but, however and because... One should not dream dreams that are not possible with all of these. We should push away the dreams we cannot dream and embrace words. When words come into play, let them break wherever they want.
I say words, I say pen, and I mark existence from yesterday and take a look at the senses, emotions, and naming.
Although it may sometimes be difficult to read something human-oriented from the pen of an author whose writing, narration is difficult to understand, the images he uses, the anxious topics he talks about... They are all in their place. While I can't pick up Invisible Cities, which I dream of reading again, I pick up the book Jaguar-Under the Sun and read this unfinished short story.
A small presentation, three stories... It deals with the senses. While discussing it, he creates small fictions. If it's a smell, he organized an event about the smell. All three were beautiful, but I liked the scent part the most.
I turned Calvino's obscure literature into a note to myself. Because such different writers always shed light on me.
