Book Reviews of Magia d'Amore (Sun & Moon Classics)
Book Review: Oh bella absurdita
Summary: 4 Stars
Not many people these days know the traditions and characters of the Commedia dell'Arte, the ludicrous and wistful clowns of Italian theatre. But don't let that stop you: the point is to suspend your belief and be entertained, and Pomerance does this with a deft romantic touch. The cast of characters flirts and farts their way across the centuries in these tales of situations gone wrong and right. Whether it's a rage of proverbs and executions in the England of Henry VIII, or a rash of impreganations in Delacroix's France, the history is recognizable but the lives are sweetly crazy. The tales are brief, but the fare is rich.
Summary of Magia d'Amore (Sun & Moon Classics)
Short Fiction. In the stories of MAGIA D'AMORE, Scaramouche, Pierrot, Columbine, Imbroglio, Credenzo, Stupenzo and dozens of other stock and imaginary characters of the Commedia dell'Arte enter, exit, and recombine in a series of sexual, societal, and political encounters. These sometimes scatalogical, often scandalous, always sexual figures jump across the pages and time like puppets who have escaped their creator's hands. These fantastic tales were published originally in such journals as The Kenyon Review and the New Directions Annual. Born in Hamilton, Ontario, Murray Pomerance is the author of several books of fiction. He lives in Toronto. MAGIA D'AMORE is Part of the Sun & Moon Classics Series.United States Books
