Italian writer Cardo Maraini is a cauldron of contradictions. Plagued by guilt over the drowning of his younger brother, he is strangely terrified by life. When the Norwegian woman he loves becomes pregnant, he plunges into a comically disastrous liaison, fleeing from commitment and responsibility. He tries to escape through writing about his youth, reliving erotic encounters and the political activism of Italy in the 1960s. When he is finally forced to confront his past and his evasions, helearns to face his fear and finds that there are second chances after all. "Middle-aged writer awkwardly attempts to make peace with his past -- and grow up while he's at it. . . . Very deftly handled: Italian poet Bortolussi's debut has a light touch . . ." --Kirkus Reviews "Stefano Bortolussi surveys the adolescent angst of the Italian male who struggles with his inner demons with humor and sympathy . . ." --Adele Santamarino ". . . in this debut novel . . . Cardo Mariano ruminates on his feckless political past, his lusty and sometimes baffling relationships with women, and finally comes to terms with his loneliness and fear. A pleasure on all counts." -- Georgio Vittorini Stefano Bortolussi is an Italian novelist, critic, translator, and poet. He also writes a monthly column forItalian Esquire and works frequently in theater and film. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
