Thrilling, stylish essays about everything from flying carpets and
Doctor Zhivago
to God and Shakespeare, by a rediscovered Italian writer.
Christina Campo published only two short collections of essays in her lifetime:
Fairy Tale and Mystery
(1962) and
The Flute and the Carpet
(1971).
The Unforgivable and Other Writings
brings together both volumes, along with a selection of essays on literature and an autobiographical short story, offering readers of English the first full-length portrait of a writer who has long been admired in Italy and abroad.
Campo's subjects range from the canonical to the esoteric. She writes stylishly about Shakespeare and
Doctor Zhivago,
as well as flying carpets, sprezzatura, and the theophagic origins of the Latin liturgy. Her passion for Marianne Moore and T. S. Eliot makes her a modernist, but like these American counterparts she is a modernist preoccupied by the deep past and by her desire to escape from personality through sustained attention to form. For Campo, writing was a spiritual discipline, and her sentences are at once wonderfully and wildly alive and serenely self-effacing. "I have written little," she once said, "and would like to have written less."
