Description In Favor Of Books Per Isabel. Un mandala
Come definire una storia come questa? A prima vista potrebbe sembrare un romanzo fantastico, ma forse sfugge a ogni possibile definizione. Tabucchi l’ha sottotitolato “Un mandala”, ma a ben vedere, con criteri tutti occidentali, si tratta in fin dei conti di un’inchiesta, una ricerca che sembra condotta da un Philip Marlowe metafisico. Ma con la metafisica, in questa ricerca spasmodica e pellegrina, si sposa un concetto tutto terrestre della vita: sapori, odori, luoghi, città, fotografie che sono legati al nostro immaginario, ai nostri sogni, ma anche alla nostra quotidiana esperienza. E allora? Nella sua nota Tabucchi suggerisce di pensare a un monaco vestito di rosso, a Hölderlin e a una canzone napoletana. Potranno forse sembrare degli ingredienti incongrui. Ma forse è meglio non cercare la congruenza in uno dei più stravaganti, visionari e insieme struggenti romanzi che la letteratura italiana ci abbia mai regalato.

A weighty writer with the lightest of touches, Tabucchi's novels are filled with tragedy, loss, broken political history, empty quests trailing off into the void... and yet there's a great comfort in them, always. Eeerie comfort, the comfort of walking alone after midnight autonomous and alone and free in the world, despite whoever you might encounter for a few moments of shared experience or a granted glimpse of epiphany. These novels stare down the universe and accept it, inviting the reader
Sweet little book but what did I just read? Did he not know she died? Were they together? I'm left confused but even with that, I enjoyed the read. May be a book to read twice.
'For Isabel: A Mandala' by Antonio Tabucchi, translated by Elizabeth Harris 4 stars/ 8 out of 10I have read other novels by Antonio Tabucchi, so was interested in reading this latest work, which was published posthumously and has now been translated into English.The volume starts with 'Justification in the Form of a Note'. I recommend reading this both at the beginning of and on completion of the book. As you would expect from Tabucchi, there is much in this novel about existence and about time.
Ignore the promotional materials: this is not in the spirit of Rashomon, but is instead a linear detective story of sorts, willfully minor, increasingly vague. The idea (a charismatic woman shifts identities and a dogged narrator tracks her down through a series of interviews) is strong, but the surreality in the 3rd act (mystics start to abound) took away from the rootedness that I enjoyed in the first half. There is some excellent writing on photographs and food, but I found myself starting to

Round and round, all over the world, yet going not far.
