As an expression of a communal contemporary condition, these narratives suggest a new sensibility and a new way of seeing, exploring, and inhabiting the world, in writing.Riva provides a comprehensive introduction to Italian literary trends of the past twenty years. Each selection is preceded by a short introduction and biography of the writer. For English-language readers who are familiar with the work of Italo Calvino and Umberto Eco, this collection presents an opportunity to acquaint themselves with the work of other important contemporary Italian writers of fiction.Italian literature and thought series.Short stories, ItalianTranslations into EnglishItalian fiction21st centuryTranslations into EnglishShort stories, ItalianItalian fiction853/.0108092Riva Massimo533310MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813409803321Italian tales3912831UNINA
