Conversations In Sicily
by Elio Vittorini (Author),
New Directions (Publisher)
Product Specifications
Book Description
It stands as a modern classic not only for its powerful thematic resonance as
one of the great novels of Italian anti-fascism but also as a trailblazer for
its style, which blends literary modernism with the pre-modern fable in a prose
of lyric beauty. Comparing Vittorini's work to Picasso's, Italo Calvino
described Conversations as "the book-Guernica." The novel begins at a time in
the narrator's life when nothing seems to matter; whether he is reading
newspaper posters blaring of wartime massacres, lying in bed with his wife or
girlfriend, or flipping through the pages of a dictionary it is all the same to
him until he embarks
