A cult classic of Italian literature published in English for the
first time, with a foreword by Andre Aciman, author of Call Me By
Your Name In the late 1960s, Leo Gazzara left his family in Milan
and moved to Rome for work. Soon unemployed, he has spent his time
in an alcoholic haze, bouncing between hotels, bars, romantic
entanglements, and the homes of his rich and well-educated friends.
Rome is indifferent. Leo drifts, aimless and alone. On the evening
of his thirtieth birthday, he meets Arianna, a young woman who is
both fragile and seductive. All night they drive the city in Leo's
run-down Alfa Romeo, talking and talking. They eat brioche for
breakfast, drink through the dawn, drive to the sea and back. A
whirlwind beginning. This is the story of the year Leo fell in love
and lost everything. Intense, brief, witty and devastating, Last
Summer in the City is a newly rediscovered classic of Italian
literature. Translated into English for the first time by Howard
Curtis, Gianfranco Calligarich's romantic and despairing debut is
reminiscent of The Great Gatsby, The Sun Also Rises and The Catcher
in the Rye.
