Editor's Note:
Quando apparve La letteratura come menzogna (1967), la scena letteraria italiana si presentava piuttosto agitata. Lo spazio era diviso fra i difensori di un establishment che vantava come glorie opere spesso mediocri e i propugnatori della «neo-avanguardia», i quali non si erano accorti che la parola «avanguardia» era stata appena colpita da una benefica senescenza. Per ragioni di topografia e strategia letteraria, Manganelli fu assegnato (e si assegnò egli stesso) a quest’ultimo campo. Nondimeno, sin dall’apparizione dei suoi primi scritti, si capì che la letteratura di Manganelli non apparteneva a quella battaglia dei pupi, ma rivendicava un’ascendenza più remota e insolente: quella della letteratura assoluta. Che cosa si dovrà intendere con questa espressione? Tante cose diverse quanti sono gli autori che, esplicitamente o no, la praticano. Ma un presupposto è per tutti comune: si è dato, a un certo punto della nostra storia, un singolare fenomeno per cui tutto ciò che era rigorosa ricerca e acquisizione di un vero – teologico, metafisico, scientifico – apparve innanzitutto interessante in quanto materiale per nutrire un falso, una finzione perfetta e onniavvolgente quale è, nella sua ultima essenza, la letteratura. A questo dio oscuro e severo andava offerto tutto ciò che sino allora aveva presunto di essere giustificato in se stesso. Di questa ambiziosa eresia si può supporre fossero cultori, in secoli lontani, Callimaco o Góngora o fors’anche Ovidio. Ma rimane il fatto che nessuno osò formularla sino a tempi recenti, quando i romantici tedeschi cominciarono a disarticolare con mano delicata ogni presupposto dell’estetica. Come il surrealismo non può dirsi assente anche da letterature lontane, e tuttavia occorreva che un giorno André Breton scrivesse il Manifesto del surrealismo perché la parola si divulgasse; così è accaduto che l’essenza menzognera della letteratura sia serpeggiata per anni in tante opere, sinché Manganelli decise, con gesto brusco e quasi burocratico, di presentarla allo stato civile. È dunque molto grave la responsabilità che si prese, dando quel titolo a una raccolta di saggi dove si parla di Carroll e di Stevenson, di Firbank e di Nabokov, di Dickens e di Peacock, di Dumas e di Rolfe. Ma era un gesto doveroso: lo avvertiamo tanto più oggi, a distanza di quasi vent’anni, constatando che certe argomentazioni non hanno più bisogno di essere confutate. Già le aveva infilzate il cavalier Manganelli con la sua lancia. È accaduto perciò a questo libro, in breve tempo, qualcosa di simile a quello che avviene a tanti bei libri in tempi più lunghi. Nascere come scandalo e sorpresa, e vivere poi tranquillamente con la forza silenziosa dell’evidenza.
