Among the masters of twentieth-century literature, Giorgio Bassani
and his northern Italian hometown of Ferrara "are as inseparable as
James Joyce and Dublin or Italo Svevo and Trieste" (from the
Introduction). The Novel of Ferrara brings together Bassani's six
classics, fully revised by the author at the end of his life. Set
before, during, and after the Second World War, these interlocking
stories present nuanced and unforgettable characters: the respected
doctor whose homosexuality is exposed by an exploitative youth; the
survivor of the Nazi death camps; the Jewish landowner, returned
from exile, to find himself utterly displaced; the schoolteacher
whose Communist idealism challenges a postwar generation. Suffused
with new life by acclaimed translator and poet Jamie McKendrick,
The Novel of Ferrara memorializes a city deeply informed by the
Jewish community to which the narrator belongs. This seminal work
seals Bassani's indomitable reputation.
