Carlo Emilio Gadda : contemporary perspectives
Carlo Emilio Gadda (1893-1973) is considered by many to be Italy's most outstanding modern writer. Author of essays, novels, and short stories, Gadda has been awarded many literary prizes, particularly for his style, which has been compared to that of Joyce, Proust, and Musil. Because, however, his dense and complex linguistics tend to defy adequate translation, his work is not widely known outside of Italy. This collection of essays introduces Gadda's work at last to the English-speaking world
