“Refined Distortions” editorial

Contrast between innovation and classicism. No longer an obstacle or resistance, it becomes a cue to discover new points of view.

“My illness is no longer the usual melancholy […]: it is a struggle of every day, of every hour against inertia, discouragement, fear; it is a struggle, a contrast in which my spirit is being refined, tempered as a metal separates in the fire from the gangue and hardens. This struggle, this suffering that is both painful and most sweet to me keeps me awake, always ready, in short, it draws works from my soul. Much, in fact, I think I have done and much, I hope, I will still do. ” (Pavese, 1925, pp. 13-14).
