Appearances Summary

Appearances by Gianni Celati

Appearances is a book of four novellas that play with the distinction between appearance and reality. Like Kafka and Calvino, Celati never loses sight of the fact that a good story is one that entertains and, whether describing the ups and downs of the rugby?mad Barratto, the conditions of light on the Via Emilia, the disappearance of a respectable man or the students in Milan bent on discovering the true meaning of books, the four novellas in Appearances are a dazzling blend of storytelling and philosophical speculation.

Appearances Reviews

?Appearances provides further evidence of Celati?s originality...Tinged with philosophy and, at times, extremely comic? Times Literary Supplement ?A small but powerful collection that conjures up the mystery of both the man-made and natural worlds? New York Times ?He excels as a teller of tales, but combines his relish for story-telling with a taste for the kind of speculation which was once the preserve of philosophy? The Scotsman
