My Secret BookPetrarch, Francesco
Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
"No one in English, not even William Faulkner with his tales of Yoknapatawpha County, wrote stories like these....[Translator] J. G. Nichols succeeds magnificently in forging a style which has a lilt to it, allowing his prose to be as hard as flint when needed and to shine like the Sicilian sun for the rare lyrical passages."
