Oh bella absurdita

Not many people these days know the traditions and characters of the Commedia dell'Arte, the ludicrous and wistful clowns of Italian theatre. But don't let that stop you: the point is to suspend your belief and be entertained, and Pomerance does this with a deft romantic touch. The cast of characters flirts and farts their way across the centuries in these tales of situations gone wrong and right. Whether it's a rage of proverbs and executions in the England of Henry VIII, or a rash of impreganations in Delacroix's France, the history is recognizable but the lives are sweetly crazy. The tales are brief, but the fare is rich.
