Il caso del ‘noir’ di Banville che da Dublino a Milano cambia titolo

[Autom. eng. transl.] Historical and intertextual sources in a novel by Banville, The Lemur, published under the pseudonym of the Irish mystery writer Benjamin Black in 2008 and proposed in Italian by Guanda in the current year with the not very effective title The Good Informant. Some reflections on the following critical prerequisites: it is not only a matter of identifying a historical source of the novel in question, in order to be able to define - among other things - the possible narrative epistemology of a realistic layout (with the related consequences in terms of overall narratological strategies ), and the profile of the internal reader to which the narrator intends to address; etc. etc. It is about entering into the logic of a novel to read it with greater satisfaction and with more conscious responsibility.
