Nel precedente articolo del nostro Blog abbiamo menzionato Andrea Camilleri e, gironzolando su YouTube, ci siamo imbattuti in questo documentario della BBC dedicato alla storia del genere noir italiano. Il documentario prende in esame le opere di, appunto, Andrea Camilleri, di due grandi scomparsi della letteratura italiana, Carlo Emilio Gadda e Leonardo Sciascia, di Giancarlo De Cataldo, l'autore di Romanzo criminale, di Barbara Baraldi, Massimo Carlotto e di Carlo Lucarelli, ed è molto interessante.
In our preceding Blog post we mentioned Andrea Camilleri and, wandering around YouTube, we came across this BBC documentary dedicated to the history of Italian crime fiction. The documentary examines works by, of course, Andrea Camilleri, by two great authors of Italian literature, now passed away, Carlo Emilio Gadda and Leonardo Sciascia, by Giancarlo De Cataldo, author of Romanzo criminale, by Barbara Baraldi, Massimo Carlotto and by Carlo Lucatelli, and is very interesting.
A proposito di Leonardo Sciascia, per coloro che non lo conoscessero, abbiamo caricato, in Pdf, un ottimo saggio scritto da Verina Jones dedicato a Sciascia, pubblicato in un libro interessantissimo del 1984: Writers and Society in Contemporary Italy: A Collection of Essays, edito da Michael Caesar e Peter Hainsworth. Il libro, reperibile su Amazon, contiene, oltre ad una sintesi della storia d'Italia dal dopoguerra agli anni '80, saggi dedicati alla Neo-avanguardia degli anni '60, ad Umberto Eco, Franco Fortini, Andrea Zanzotto, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Dario Fo, Dino Buzzati, Elsa Morante, e ad Italo Calvino.
