Questa singolarissima opera è un libro nel libro, insieme parassitario e autonomo, in cui il Manganelli scrittore da un lato illumina "Pinocchio" di una luce nuova e dall’altro dà forma all’ennesimo paesaggio della sua poetica – paesaggio ancora una volta lunare, comico e alieno. Il classico di Collodi diventa così più terrificante ma anche più euforico, più enigmatico ma anche più carico di rivelazioni, più cupo ma anche più ricco di risonanze metaforiche e simboliche. E in particolare il percorso di Pinocchio, personaggio insieme umano, animale, vegetale e ultraterreno, mosso fin dall’inizio da «una vocazione metamorfica e insieme teatrale», da un «occulto, multiforme, futuro». Questo percorso, infatti, altro non è se non l’attraversamento dell’Erebo, del Regno dei Morti, che ha il suo centro nel cuore nero del libro, ma che si estende a tutta la topografia collodiana, dal bosco verde scuro in cui biancheggia la casa mortuaria della Fata alla campagna popolata di faine dove Pinocchio fa il cane da guardia. Libro notturno, di una notte definitiva (dove il giorno è solo «recitato» da sarcastici lampi temporaleschi), il Pinocchio di Manganelli non si chiude con la trasformazione edificante della vulgata, giacché il ragazzo in carne e ossa non sostituisce il burattino e non ne è la resurrezione: dovrà invece conviverci, con quella «reliquia prodigiosa», con quel legno che «continuerà a sfidarlo».
Parodistic Intertextuality and Intermediality in Postmodern American Fiction: Robert Coover and Kathy Acker
Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: Reading postmodern fiction - once a term limited to denote a decidedly US-American tendency in contemporary literature but now applicable to a whole range of works that have in recent years been published by an international group of writers - one almost invariably gets the uneasy feeling of having read it all before. Recognizing some passages, the reader feels a strong sense of deja vu and keeps wondering whether the passages he or she does not recognize are just from those books he or she has not read. Surely enough, an increasingly large number of postmodern authors tend to conceive their books as a jumble of allusions to themes, structures and scenes from earlier texts, so-called master- or parent texts. Others go even further in alluding to previously published texts. They deliberately draw an one particular, generally acknowledged and highly acclaimed master text or classical piece of world literature and read it parodically against the grain, thus re-writing and re-working a renowned classic into a new work of art. Still others overtly appropriate and even plagiarize titles, paragraphs and whole passages from a variety of literary predecessors. However, allusions, appropriations and plagiarisms are only an the surface of postmodern fiction; beneath are other things, which are formally more interesting: parodistic intertextuality as a leitmotif central to a postmodern synthesis, challenging traditional literary concepts, such as author, genre and literary period an the one hand and originality and inventiveness an the other hand, fragmentation of literature and simultaneous presentation of literary and cinematic scenes and events from a variety of perspectives - also referred to as synchronic approach of telling a story, deconstruction and re-presentation of texts, and, ultimately, recognition of fiction as a world of its own, as a linguistic artefact which does not stand for reality any longer. Consequently, postmodern fiction is not concerned with the process of writing as a one-to-one reproduction of reality. Quite the contrary, postmodern fiction abandons the mimetic principle of conventional narrative and severs its ties to space, time, cause-and-effect and reality and goes back to the original springs of narrative. Going beyond the limits of the real world and exploring the realms of fantasy and dreams, postmodern fiction evidently manifests a turning back to fairy-tales, religious parables, and the stories [...]
Dangerous Children

Gross explores our complex fascination with uncanny children in works of fiction. Ranging from Victorian to modern works—Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, Carlo Collodi's Pinocchio, Henry James's What Maisie Knew, J. M. Barrie's Peter and Wendy, Franz Kafka's "The Cares of a Family Man," Richard Hughes's A High Wind in Jamaica, Elizabeth Bowen's The Death of the Heart, and Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita—Kenneth Gross's book delves into stories that center around the figure of a strange and dangerous child. Whether written for adults or child readers, or both at once, these stories all show us odd, even frightening visions of innocence. We see these children's uncanny powers of speech, knowledge, and play, as well as their nonsense and violence. And, in the tales, these child-lives keep changing shape. These are children who are often endangered as much as dangerous, haunted as well as haunting. They speak for lost and unknown childhoods. In looking at these narratives, Gross traces the reader's thrill of companionship with these unpredictable, often solitary creatures—children curious about the adult world, who while not accommodating its rules, fall into ever more troubling conversations with adult fears and desires. This book asks how such imaginary children, objects of wonder, challenge our ways of seeing the world, our measures of innocence and experience, and our understanding of time and memory.
