		Gadda was a practising engineer from Milan, and he both loved and hated his job.

	That Awful Mess on Via Merulana by Carlo Emilio Gadda (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		JACKET NOTES: Carlo Emilio Gadda is universally regarded as the most interesting and original writer in contemporary Italian literature, and this novel, his major work, is recognized throughout Europe as a masterpiece of baroque magnificence and savage, fl humor.
		Gadda's great novel may therefore be seen as a profound and vast allegory of Italy's descent into corruption and violence during the dark years of Fascist rule.
		Gadda is above all close to Joyce in the power of his intellect, in the overflowing richness of cultural learning he brings to his writing, and in the great range in mood and tone of his style.

		Gadda revolted against conventional literary expression and thought that only through fragmentary, incoherent language could he portray the multiplicity of the disintegrated world.
		Gadda fought in World War I and was taken prisoner by the Germans, where he met Ugo Betti, later well-known dramatist, poet, and novelist.
		Gadda's misogynous tone has been explained by personal attitudes of the author and by the general atmosphere of the age it portrays.

	Carlo Emilio Gadda’s Luigi di Francia Margaret Baker (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Gadda's own, cautiously optimistic comment on I Luigi di Francia, made to Livio Garzanti on the eve of its publication, is recorded by Gianmarco Gaspari in his Note to accompany the Garzanti edition of the Opere: "un lavoro non privo di qualche interesse, e, in ogni modo, un po' inconsueto".
		[9] By the time of this interview Gadda had already been employed with the RAI for little more than a year, carrying out duties allied to the technical aspects of the writer's activities and thus his reflections on the interaction between his own different careers were well-founded.
		[10] The reasons for Gadda's retaining the basic format of the radio scripts in the printed text can only be imagined (though foremost among these reasons there may have been the need to simplify his task when faced with the difficulty of keeping abreast of the other demands being made on him).

	Carlo Emilio Gadda -- Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - Your gateway to all Britannica has to offer!
		Gadda's best-known and most successful novel, Quer pasticciaccio brutto de via Merulana (1957; That Awful Mess on Via Merulana), is a story of a murder and burglary in fascist Rome and of the subsequent investigation, which features characters from many levels of Roman life.
		Gadda's approach is as mercurial as his style: ironic, bitter, outrageously comic, philosophical, and obscene.
		Gadda's La cognizione del dolore (1963, revised 1970; Acquainted with Grief) is autobiographical, though its setting is transferred from modern Italy to an invented South American country.

	Carlo Emilio Gadda
		Carlo Emilio Gadda è forse uno dei più famosi autori italiani.
		Dopo la sua morte, avvenuta nel 1909, la madre prende le redini della famiglia e Gadda si iscrive alla Facoltà di ingegneria del Politecnico di Milano malgrado volesse continuare gli studi letterari.
		Malgrado l'alta considerazione ed il successo (forse tardivo), Gadda continua a vivere nel dolore e nella tristezza.

	Home page di Carlo Emilio Gadda
		Una povertà che Gadda patì non tanto e non solo per le rinunce materiali cui si trovarono costretti, ma per il fortissimo sentimento di umiliazione che provò, allora e in seguito, nei confronti di quella borghesia cui comunque i Gadda continuavano ad appartenere, pur non potendoselo più permettere.
		Gadda sapeva bene di cosa stava parlando - e in effetti solo di ciò che si conosce per esperienza diretta è possibile scrivere con tanta efficacia - perché era lui stesso ammalato, sebbene silenziosamente.
		Gadda vendette subito la villa di Longone al Segrino, intascò i soldi, smise una volta per tutte di fare l'ingegnere e scrisse di getto, l'anno dopo, la "Cognizione del dolore".

		He studied in [Milan], and while studying at the Politecnico (a university specialized in engineering and architecture), he volunteered for Word War I. During the war he was taken prisoner and his brother was killed in a plane--his brother's death features prominently in La cognizione del dolore.
		The country at that time was a boom economy, and Gadda used the experience for the fictional South American-cum-Brianza setting of La Cognizione del Dolore.
		The reference literary critic for Gadda is, without doubt, Gianfranco Contini.

	EJGS Archive – Manzotti: Carlo Emilio Gadda (I)
		Gadda vi sarà estremamente sensibile, non solo nel concreto delle molte prose di viaggio (che si inseriscono in una nutrita linea di consimile letteratura “milanese” – si pensi ad Angioletti), ma anche a livello simbolico: I viaggi la morte è il significativo titolo di una delle raccolte maggiori.
		Voci tipiche sono quelle di Cesare Angelini, Ada Negri, e Carlo Linati, il terzo «saggista accurato e calligrafico», «cultore della parola preziosa nella misura classica di un perenne elzeviro», (5) modello in effetti dell’interscambio possibile tra alto giornalismo e letteratura – la cui importanza per la prosa descrittiva gaddiana non è stata sufficientemente valutata.
		Carlo (Emilio) Gadda nasce a Milano, in un appartamento della centrale via Manzoni (la «via Grand Boeuf» di Eros e Priapo, SGF II 347), il 14 novembre 1893, «quattordici giorni avanti la caduta del ministero Giolitti, del primo».

		Like Gadda, Gonzalo was brought up in an atmosphere of genteel poverty, "exacerbated by the typically Italian middle-class mania for keeping up appearances, for making a bella figura"-not the least element present in those moments of Gonzalo's magnificent rage against the conditions of his life.
		Gadda's War Journal indicates the author's almost pathological attachment to his brother, who was killed in the First World War--an attachment tinged with jealousy of the mother's preference for this older son.

		Gadda syntax presents itself as a trait d'union between old and new literary instances: according to Futurist poetics, it is innovative and can successfully represent modern world and society through its daring syntactical architectures.
		Gadda himself suggests that enumerations are an essential ingredient of his baroque: thus they can help to understand his special genre and his own interpretation of baroque.
		Through them Gadda expresses his hot-tempered outbursts against military authorities and Italian society during and after the war, against all the people who did not perform their tasks and deserted their civil duties, in this way not valuing at all the sacrifice made by other big-hearted and heroic young men.

	Waggish: Italo Calvino on Musil and Gadda
		Musil and Gadda appear to have almost nothing in common except for a certain underlying contempt for the world, and even that comes out very differently.
		I don't know that he ever wrote more on Musil, but he was a big booster of Gadda: Calvino's introduction to Gadda's That Awful Mess on Via Mirulana is quite wonderful and much easier going than the novel itself.
		But with Gadda, it's unavoidable: there is the insistent breakdown of facts and objects that Gadda can't avoid.

	University Press of Florida: Carlo Emilio Gadda and the Modern Macaronic
		Carlo Emilio Gadda (1893-1973) is generally considered in his native Italy to be "the one novelist that the country has produced who deserves to be spoken of in the same breath as Musil, Joyce, and Proust." This study is the first full historical and thematic appreciation of him in English.
		Gadda's prose is characterized by a linguistic expressionism and a grotesque and baroque fantasy emblematic of a longstanding polyphonic and plurilingual tradition in Italian literature called the macaronic.
		He traces this tradition from the Renaissance authors Teofilo Folengo and François Rabelais to the Romantics and Flaubert, and, in the case of Gadda, to the plurilingualism of the Italian peninsula.

	Carlo Emilio Gadda: Contemporary Perspectives
		Under the expert guidance of Dombroski (since the 1970s a leading Gadda scholar) and Bertone (author of a book on Gadda, Il romanzo come sistema, 1993), this welcome addition to Gadda studies introduces readers to the writer's life and major works.
		Taken together, they broach a multitude of questions--ranging from Gadda's relation to other narrators to philosophical, linguistic, stylistic, psychological, and ideological influences and attitudes--and fulfill the editors' declared goal: to establish a contemporary critical view on Gadda, and to render the major part of his writing familiar to readers acquainted only with his well-known novels.
		Enriched with photographs and free of obvious errors, this volume is highly recommended, especially to upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, and scholars.

		Carlo Emilio Gadda (1893-1973) is considered by many to be Italy's most outstanding modern writer.
		His plurilingualism, pastiches, and narrative entanglements are revealed both as a revolt against conventional literary style and as the expression of a chaotic, painful, and labyrinthine world inhabited by a fragmented subject.
		Gadda emerges as a transgressive novelist, a humorist, and a mannerist who continuously deforms language through parodic and comic modes.

		This article is a first systematic insight into Carlo Emilio Gadda's enumerations, with particular focus on their morphological aspects.
		With particular reference to the longest and intricate ones, most critics have assumed that Gadda's enumerations reproduce the author's own ideas of chaos and disorder.
		On the contrary, as I will demonstrate, the analysis of their architecture - how their items follow each other - reveals that they are entirely controlled and concluded structures, whereby many elements, such as connectives, repetitions and phonic associations, stop the centrifugal movement of their components.
