Sobre este artículo
It is no accident that the surname of the narrator recalls the famous telescope, for Palomar is an obsessive observer, capable of turning his alarmingly concentrated focus from the Milky Way to the cheese counter of a local delicatessen.
This story sequence displays yet another aspect of Calvino's mastery of technique. The colloquial shape and deceptive charm disguise a razor-sharp purpose.
Sinopsis
Mr. Palomar, whose name purposely evokes that of the famous telescope, is a seeker after knowledge, a visionary in a world sublime and ridiculous. Whether contemplating a cheese, a woman’s breasts, or a gorilla’s behavior, he brings us a vision of a world familiar by consensus, fragmented by the burden of individual perception. Translated by William Weaver. A Helen and Kurt Wolff Book
