Thanks very much for the other recommendations here; I have Buzzati and Levi works (the latter in Italian) in my clutches waiting to be read, but Curzio Malaparte is a brand new name to me. Good to find out about <em>Kaput</em>!Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01746599416342846897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911087927983597831.post-82859297206420943692012-09-14T06:40:33.426-04:002012-09-14T06:40:33.426-04:00I read Sciascia's Il Contesto months ago in It...I read Sciascia's <i>Il Contesto</i> months ago in Italian (in English it's known as <i>Equal Danger,</i> perhaps to make it sound more thrilling and action-y), and it's very, very good! Satirical, witty, humane. I want to read more by him before the year ends, money willing :)<br /><br />If you want to read more Italian writers, let me suggest Antonio Tabucchi, Dario Fo, Primo Levi, Dino Buzzati and Curzio Malaparte - his <i>Kaputt</i> is one of the best World War II novels ever written, and from the perspective of the Axis.LMRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08538873868140070018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911087927983597831.post-42570699681876716912009-01-09T11:11:00.000-05:002009-01-09T11:11:00.000-05:00J.
