The New Italian NovelZygmunt G. Barański, Lino Pertile Critical introductions to fifteen contemporary novelists whose work is of international calibre. Central to most is a preoccupation with the relationship between writing and the world. The authors deal with a vast range of topics and periods - including present-day events, the past, and the problems faced by women and by society as a whole - but nearly all lookat how such matters might be tackled in literature. |
