\u201cA story made up of many voices, in which the authors ideally give witness to the peninsula\u2019s jagged geography, trying to restore complexity to events that besiege the lives of their fellow citizens, and of course their own, events often indecipherable and lugubriously enigmatic. Writing, therefore, is a consciousness that seizes with an incisive glance even the more folkloristic phenomenon of our Bel Paese (Soccer, Crime, the South, Family, Religion, Television and Politics), returning them to a divided western context, based on precariousness (personal and otherwise), adrift formative centers (schools), urban solitude, loss of a sense of community. An \u2018unpublished vision\u2019 of Italy in action, with those who belong to its most immediate present and also create it.\u201d \u2014Lorenzo Pavolini, editor of Italville<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Italville<\/em> is a ville is a ville is a ville, just like Italrose, if sapiently coaxed, would be a rose and a rose and a rose. Yet, no matter how soothing the chain of affirmation, the question remains: couldn\u2019t a ville be a village, could it not be a town, a region, a state?\u201d \u2014Luigi Ballerini<\/p>\n

\u201cThe anthology Italville: New Italian Writing<\/em> is an important, extremely useful book, bringing together twenty-nine emerging Italian authors. It allows writers already well-known in Italy to finally be appreciated abroad, thanks to the efforts of the Istituto Italiano di Cultura.\u201d \u2014Niccol\u00f2 Ammaniti<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2911,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[311,576],"product_tag":[152,460,448,403],"class_list":["post-2905","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","product_cat-fiction","product_cat-transaltions","product_tag-152","product_tag-anthology","product_tag-italian-culture","product_tag-translation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.exileeditions.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/2905","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.exileeditions.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.exileeditions.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.exileeditions.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2905"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.exileeditions.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2911"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.exileeditions.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2905"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.exileeditions.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=2905"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.exileeditions.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=2905"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
