"A small culturally mixed community living in an apartment building in the center of Rome is thrown into disarray when one of the tenants is murdered. As each of the victim's neighbors is questioned by the police, readers are offered an all-access pass into the most colorful neighborhood in contemporary Rome. Each character takes his or her turn "giving evidence," recounting his or her story -- the drama of racial identity, the anxieties and daily humiliations born of a life spent on society's margins, but also the hilarious imbroglios that are inevitable in this melting pot of cultures. What emerges is a moving story that is common to us all.".

Elizabeth Spencer (1921-2019) was a major figure of the Southern Renaissance, though today her many books & stories are scattered or out of print. This LOA volume brings together the very best of her writing--3 novels & 19 stories--from a career of more than 6 decades. "The Voice at the Back Door" (1957), greeted by The New Yorker as "a practically perfect novel" & here restored to print, portrays small-town life in Mississippi during the late Jim Crow era & the self-interest & hatred that kept injustice firmly in place. Published 2 years after the Emmett Till lynching, it captures the spitting vehemence of its white characters' speech & may have been proven too potentially controversial for the Pulitzer board (which awarded no prize in 1957). Also included in this volume are "The Light in the Piazza" (1960), Spencer's most famous work, a deftly poignant comedy about Americans abroad that was adapted to the screen by Guy Green; & a second superb Italian novella, "Knights and Dragons" (1965), reminiscent of Henry James's novels in its atmosphere, interiority, & concern with transplanted Americans. Spencer excelled in the short story form & this volume presents a career-spanning selection by editor Michael Gorra that ranges from the early "First Dark" (1959), a kind of ghost story about a spectral over-sized house in a Southern town, to the valedictory "The Wedding Visitor" (2013), about the refusal to let the all-enveloping world of place, family, & childhood define one's adult life. Spencer's special focus was families, & few writers have so brilliantly plumbed the passions that unite them & the inner upheavals that can tear them apart. * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: ELIZABETH SPENCER (1921-2019) was the author of 9 novels, 8 short story collections, a memoir, & a play. She was a 5-time recipient of the O. Henry Award & a 2-time National Book Award finalist, & the winner of the PEN/Malamud Award for Short Fiction. Spencer was elected in the American Academy of Arts & Letters in 1985, & in 2009 received the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Mississippi Institute of Arts & Letters. * ABOUT THE EDITOR: MICHAEL GORRA is the Mary Augusta Jordan Professor of English at Smith College, where he has taught since 1985. He is the author of The Bells in Their Silence: Travels through Germany, Portrait of a Novel: Henry James & the Making of an American Masterpiece (a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in the Biography), & The Saddest Words: William Faulkner's Civil War. * LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation's literary heritage by publishing, & keeping permanently in print, America's best & most significant writing. The LOA series includes 100s of authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, & ribbon markers, & are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE custom-packages this fine book for FREE shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL within the U.S. w/ Domestic USPS PRIORITY MAIL / USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL at rates quoted on request.
