Conversations In Sicily (Paperback, Main)

Echoing the existentialist concerns of Camus' fiction, while capturing vividly the heat, sounds and smells of southern Italy, Conversations in Sicily is sure to astound contemporary readers for its modernity, lyricism, originality and freshness. Filled with a deep sense of ennui and feeling disconnected from all that surrounds him, the novel's narrator embarks on a journey from northern Italy to Sicily; the home he has not seen in some fifteen years. Through the conversations of the islanders and a reunion with his mother, he begins to feel reconnected. But to what kind of world?;Written during Mussolini's time in power, Conversations in Sicily is one of the masterpieces of modernism, a strange, brilliant and beguiling book.
