5.0 out of 5 stars Subtle grace, August 26, 2001

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: More Italian Hours & Other Stories (Via Folios) (Paperback)
Helen Barolini warrants more attention. Her essays are wonderful excursion, and her best novel, Umbertina, offers the most compelling portrayal of an Italian immigrant yet produced by an American writer. Now we have a collection of short stories, very much in the vein of Henry James (hence the appropriate, if unexciting, title). Enjoy a respite from writers striving to win attention by flogging the latest -ism. Barolini's writing has a subtle grace that rewards the act of reading. Enter these well-crafted precincts of fiction for the pleasure of following the sine of language in the service of depicting various lives.
