Marlboro, VT The Marlboro Press, 1983. Paperback First Edition Thus (1983), Second Printing (1991). Near Fine in Wraps: shows only the most minute indications of use: just a hint of wear to extremities; some sunning at the backstrip, but the titles thereon remain bold and clearly legible; the binding shows barely discernible lean, while remaining perfectly secure; the text is clean. Free of creases to the panels. Free of creases to the backstrip. Free of any creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of any underlining, hi-lighting or marginalia or marks in the text. Free of any ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, plates, or labels. A handsome nearly-new copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing only the very mildest wear to the outside edges and a single flaw. Bright and clean. Corners sharp. Very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. (8.25 x 5.25 x 0.5 inches). 122 pages. Translated by David Calicchio. Language: English. Weight: 6 ounces. First Edition Thus (1983), Second Printing (1991). Trade Paperback. When I found myself thinking about this book weeks after I finished it, I knew that I had read a masterpiece. Beautifully written, passionate and insightful, this is the work of one of the finest unknown authors of the 20th century. Camon's intense narrative bears stunning similarities to the brilliant existential writings of Albert Camus, while the story reaches a desperate crescendo that leaves its stamp on the mind long after finishing the book. Camon's musings on death, his perspectives on Italy's waning peasant culture and his uncanny knack for painting landscapes and cultivating real emotions from the characters is the stuff of pure pathos and beauty. It is indeed a "memorial" of the author's mother, of whom he offers nostalgic, riveting remembrances. Everything from humorous accounts of her bland cooking to her daily struggle to keep a peasant family alive and stable exhibits the heroic and essential role of the mother in any family. Also, her elderly husband's determination to fight through the pain of his aged body and construct a magnificent Altar in tribute to his deceased wife is nothing short of saintly. This book has the rare ability to pierce readers' hearts, most of whom will undeniably come away from the book with a deeper, tenderer love of their families - if nothing more. From the first word to the last, there is no doubt that this is the voice of a master writer still waiting to be discovered by the world. With hope, that day will come.
