A major contribution.' Carol Lazzaro-Weis, University of Missouri'What an astounding range of subject matter and style in this brilliantly edited cornucopia!' Benjamin Taylor, author of 'Naples Declared: A Walk Around the Bay'A cogently well-organized anthology of new voices that have populated the Italian literary landscape for some time now.
