Narrative In Favor Of Books Mr Palomar

Mr Palomar is a delightful eccentric whose chief activity is looking at things. He is simply seeking knowledge; 'it is only after you have come to know the surface of things that you can venture to seek what is underneath'. Whether contemplating a fine cheese, a hungry gecko, a woman sunbathing topless or a flight of migrant starlings, Mr Palomar's observations render the world afresh.

Nobody looks at the moon in the afternoonAnd this is the moment when it would most require our attentionSince its existence is still in doubtThe moon is the most changeable body in the visible universeAnd the most regular in its complicated habitsWho fear it is too beautiful to be truePerhaps the first rule I must impose on myself is this: Stick to what I see[Jupiter] Effects of immense atmospheric storms are translated into a calm, orderly patternWhat can be more stable than nothingnessThis

I came to Calvino late. As a curious/voracious young adult I read If on a winters night a traveller, thought it pointless, and aside from fragments didnt try him again for twenty years. The density, the language, the playful intellectualness none of that was the problem. But I was a Borges fan and I demanded some heartshock with my mindgames some dizzying vertigo or glimpse of the abyss. Whether, in other works, Calvino offers this I cant say: since my two-decades hiatus Ive read only Mr

First the stats. My 15th book of October. My 85th book of the year. My 4th Calvino book. What is a novel? That's the sort of question I've debated a few times. There's not nearly the time, audience or reason to discuss that question now. I ask it, though, because Mr Palomar is made up of tiny chapters, only a couple of pages each on average, which focus on something. That's it. There's no plot so to speak of. It's basically just looking at things. It starts with Part 1: Palomar's Vacation. It

Mr. Palomar, as the name suggests, is an observant soul. When he goes on vacation, to the beach, he contemplates a wave, thoroughly. He notices a woman sunbathing topless, and strolls back and forth in front of her, trying out different postures to appear not to be observing her. She is ultimately not amused. He then waits till the sun starts to sink, and observes himself dive in, and knife toward the horizon.He observes his lawn, an albino gorilla, a gecko. He, Calvino, is at his best when Mr.

I had to read this for university and I must say I quite enjoyed it. The book is composed by a variety of observations and reflections made by the protagonist Palomar. Some of them definitely offered me some insightful and interesting topics to think about.Even though I prefer other works by Calvino, I still recommend this book.

I wanted to give this book one star as I "did not like it", but out of respect for many admiring readers of it here, give it two stars instead. I am now finished with my subjection of Italo Calvino. He just does not do it for me. Sorry.

If time has to end, it can be described, instant by instant, Palomar thinks, and each instant, when described, expands so that its end can no longer be seen. He decides that he will set himself to describing every instant of his life, and until he has described them all he will no longer think of being dead. At that moment he dies
