At the time of his death, Italo Calvino was at work on six lectures
setting forth the qualities in writing he most valued, and which he
believed would define literature in the century to come. Here, in
"Six Memos for the Next Millennium," are the five lectures he
completed, forming not only a stirring defense of literature, but
also an indispensable guide to the writings of Calvino himself. He
devotes one "memo" each to the concepts of "lightness,"
"quickness," "exactitude," "visibility," and "multiplicity,"
drawing examples from his vast knowledge of myth, folklore, and
works both ancient and modern. Readers will be astonished by the
prescience of these lectures, which have only gained in relevance
as Calvino's "next millennium" has dawned.
