Massimo Riva has gathered English-language translations of short stories and excerpts from novels that were originally published in Italian between 1975 and 2001. 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. 410 0$aItalian literature and thought series. 606 $aShort stories, Italian$vTranslations into English 606 $aItalian fiction$y21st century$vTranslations into English 615 0$aShort stories, Italian 615 0$aItalian fiction 676 $a853/.0108092 701 $aRiva$b Massimo$0533310 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813409803321 996 $aItalian tales$93912831 997 $aUNINA
