This book is addressed to “lovers of paradoxes” and we have
done our utmost to assemble a stellar cast of Neapolitan and
American scholars, intellectuals, and artists/writers who are
strong and open-minded enough to wrestle with and illuminate the
paradoxes through which Naples presents itself. Naples is a
mysterious metropolis. Difficult to understand, it is an enigma to
outsiders, and also to the Neapolitans themselves. Its very
impenetrableness is what makes it so deliriously and irresistibly
attractive. The essays attempt to give some hints to the answer of
the enigma, without parsing it into neat scholastic formulas. In
doing this, the book will be an important means of opening Naples
to students, scholars and members of the community at large who are
engaged in “identity-work.” A primary goal has been to
establish a dialogue with leading Neapolitan intellectuals and
artists, and, ultimately, ensure that the “deliriously
Neapolitan” dance continues.
