David Gilmour's biography of Giuseppe di Lampedusa unearths the
life story of the creator of "The Leopard", one of the great novels
of the twentieth century. A book whose imagery, once tasted, haunts
the reader forever. "The Leopard" describes the golden era of the
nineteenth-century Sicily in all its sensual, fading, aristocratic
glory. But beneath the surface lurk Sicily's millenial contagions -
corruption, brutality and inequality. Who wrote this masterpiece,
this work of art? the answer is as unlikely as one might hope. This
is a fascinating meditation on what it is that makes a writer.
