'Parks...offers detailed cultural observation, witty yet
eagle-eyed, of what makes Italians so Italian' The Times How does
Italy really work? When Valeria travels from hot, dusty Basilicata
to begin her studies in a northern university town, she has little
idea of the kind of education she will find there. Italian Life is
her story, and that of the students and professors around her: a
story of power and corruption, influence and exclusion, and the
workings of a society where your connections are everything.
Written with flair and insight, Italian Life joins Tim Parks'
bestselling books about his beloved and paradoxical adopted
country. It is a gripping, entertaining, behind-the-scenes account
of how Italy actually happens, and the ways it can surprise those
who know it inside out. 'A satisfyingly truthful, entertaining and
provocative comedy' Daily Telegraph
