The article presents a discussion of the book "The Tightrope Walkers," by Giorgio Melchiori. In his introduction to this collection of essays on 20th century literature, Melchiori presents an interesting thesis that the "anxious" art of the early half of the century is evolving more balanced and self-dependent forms and may very well culminate in a new Baroque. He hopes that as the "age of anxiety" was discerned by writers some time before it was apparent to the ordinary man, so this new development may prophesy a more stable era on its way.
