Calvino e Calvino: jumps in the dark, fabulare

Abstract

This article assembles a crossed reading among the narrative and some open propositions by Italo Calvino and the book of the Portuguese writer Gonçalo M. Tavares entitled O Senhor Calvino, which is part of a larger project called O Bairro. What Calvino defines as "attitude toward fable" may refer to a recovery of the free territory of in-fancy, of the oral experience (the report), together with some categories elaborated by Italo Calvino, such as lightness and as exactitude. Thus, in another fold, Gonçalo Tavares also insists on maintaining the lightness proposed by Italo Calvino, in reaction to the weight of things, as output and political task to happiness.
