| Summary | Annotation <p>Three names dominate the Italian novel in the English-speaking world - Italo Calvino, Primo Levi, and Umberto Eco. Yet since the late 1960's there have been many more important Italian writers whose work remains unknown outside Italy.</p><p>This ground-breaking book brings their writings to a wider audience, offering general critical introductions to fifteen contemporary novelists whose work is of an 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 look at how such matters might be tackled in literature.</p><p>With each chapter written by an Italian specialist and a full introduction setting the novelists in their historical and cultural context, <em>The New Italian Novel</em>is essential reading for anyone wanting an English introduction to the best of Italian writing.</p> |
