Narration Supposing Books Poem Strip

A New York Review Books Original

 There’s a certain street—via Saterna—in the middle of Milan that just doesn’t show up on maps of the city. Orfi, a wildly successful young singer, lives there, and it’s there that one night he sees his gorgeous girlfriend Eura disappear, “like a spirit,” through a little door in the high wall that surrounds a mysterious mansion across the way. Where has Eura gone? Orfi will have to venture with his guitar across the borders of life and death to find out.

Featuring the Ashen Princess, the Line Inspector, trainloads of Devils, Trudy, Valentina, and the Talking Jacket, Poem Strip—a pathbreaking graphic novel from the 1960s—is a dark and alluring investigation into mysteries of love, lust, sex, and death by Dino Buzzati, a master of the Italian avant-garde.

Write-Up Appertaining To Books Poem Strip

I just just read this at lunch. So. Good. Poem-y and story-y and tangible and abstract and funny and delicate and old and new all at once.In Milan there is a house behind a big guarded wall on the Via Saturna. Orfi, the son of an old but no longer rich family, sees his girlfriend, Eura, enter a small door in the wall one night. She's dead. He has to get her back. Familiar? You won't find a stale part of this pastel hell.I was going to quote some but it's not the same w/o the illustrations.

Ehhh I didn't care for this much. At some points it was poetic and some of the illustrations were really gorgeous. At other times I felt like I was just reading a badly written mythological adaptation, the purpose of which seemed to be the objectification of women and the dehumanization of female sexuality. Ew. Maybe I was reading into it too much. But am I the only one who noticed that when the jacket was naming off women to Orfi, that the black woman was not given a name (pg 95)? All the

I don't think that I've ever read a 20th century Italian surrealist graphic novel before. This was a pretty great introduction to the genre. I can really see the influences of filmmakers like Fellini and artists like Dali on Buzzati.

psychedelic italian illustrated poem with boobs and grim reapers. i think something was definitely lost in translation for me but musings on death in pastel cartoon form were pretty cool.

Art

Poetic and pervy pop art spin on the Orpheus myth. A graphic novel before that was a thing.

I was reminded of Buzzati while reading Zambra's Not to Read. There's such a limited range of his work available in translation, and I thought The Tartar Steppe was brilliant, so this was a logical pickup, given that it's the only other work widely available. Despite all efforts to place Poem Strip in context, though, and appreciate it for being completely innovative and quite clever (it is), I really just...didn't much like it. It's hard to get past the fact that it doesn't age well, to put it
