The Fifth Generation
One of the best of Italy's postwar novelists "explores
the effect of a necessarily fragmented and disrupted
adolescence on two opposite young men. . . . He
handles his scenes with reticence and has an excel–
lent ear for dialogue. . . . The episodes through
which he traces the physiognomy of a decade are apt
and understated."-N.Y.

The Green Loving
Seldom do the poems in a first book of verse com–
municate their special quality with such concision
and authority. Each one represents a fresh revela–
tion of the reality it contemplates-as if unessentials
were burned away by the quiet vehemence at the
poem's core.
