Nice. I like this list more than Calvino's but he mentions one of my favourite examples of lightness -- Kafka, especially "The Bucket Rider".
I didn't know about "The Bucket Rider". Sometimes it seems that there are an infinity of Kafka stories...
(But that can't be true, because if it were, this would be a meaningful world, and there would be no reason for Kafka to exist)
