This review is from: L'Isola DI Arturo: Romanzo (Gli Struzzi) (Italian Edition) (Paperback)
L'isola di Arturo is a coming of age novel about Aurturo, a geographically isolated young man. It is also a novel about women's experiences in rural italy, love, idolatry, and awakenings. This is a novel that will stay with you, one of those you will think about years after you have read it.

This review is from: L'Isola DI Arturo: Romanzo (Gli Struzzi) (Italian Edition) (Paperback)
"L'Isola d'Arturo" is Elsa Morante's answer to Pasolini's and other male writers' tough tales. "Arthur's Island" tells a more tough tale with so much Italianità that the reader forgets that he is reading about gay love and incestuous passion. Where Pasolini tries to shock, and Moravia exposes bourgeois decadence, Morante pretends to simply tell (fictitious) small island reality, knowing that reality is more rich, and more shocking than fiction. A beautiful, wonderful, amazing book!
