The Three Cultures of the Mediterranean Foundation will pay tribute to the figure of Vincenzo Consolo by reading the book ‘Conversation in Seville’ in the \u2018Tres con libros\u2019 book club as well as organizing a presentation. This work, edited by professor and translator Miguel \u00c1ngel Cuevas, collects some interviews and interventions held in various forums in Seville in 2004.<\/p>\n
Consolo is part of a tradition of great Sicilian authors who love their island, to which also belongs his friend Leonardo Sciascia, a constant reference in his conversations. He is considered one of the sharpest writers in Italian literature.<\/p>\n
Vincenzo Consolo\u00a0<\/strong>(1933-2012)<\/p>\n Having been born in\u00a0Sant’Agata di Militello (Sicily), facing the Aeolian Islands, he is therefore very well acquainted with Sicily, an island which smells of blood and jasmine, as we read in one of his texts. Among his books we can find novels with a historical-metaphorical tone like \u2018Il sorriso dell’ignoto marinaio\u2019 (1956), \u2018Retablo\u2019 (1987), \u2018Nottetempo, casa per casa\u00a0\u2018 (1992) or \u2018Lo spasimo di Palermo\u2019 (1998); quasi-recollection stories such as \u2018Le pietre di Pantalica\u2019 (1988) and \u2018L\u2019olivo e l\u2019olivastro\u2019 (1994); and plays like \u2018Lunaria\u2019 (1985) and \u2018Catarsi\u2019 (1989).<\/p>\n PROGRAMA DE LEITURA<\/strong><\/p>\n From 11th<\/sup> a 18th<\/sup> of March, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2018Tres con libros\u2019 book club members can pick up their copy of the novel from the Three Cultures library.<\/p>\n Thursday, 14th<\/sup> of April\u00a02015*, 18.30 h.<\/strong><\/p>\n Special meeting of the book club.
