Tommaso Landolfi,Raymond Rosenthal,Wayland Young,John Longrigg
Much admired in Europe, Landolfi has been called "the Italian Kafka"; he is often linked with the Surrealists, and in the intellectual quality of his fantasy there are certain affinities with Borges; but beyond these superficial comparisons, his is a truly uniqueâ€”and fascinatingâ€”art. It is based in a prodigious imagination, a very curious sense of humor and a rare command of irony.,The short stories included are:,- Gogol's Wife,- Pastoral,- Dialogue on the Greater Harmonies,- The Two Old Maids,- Wedding Night,- The Death of the King of France,- Giovanni and His Wife,- Sunstroke,- A Romantic's Letter on Gambling
