About This Item
Boston:: Little Brown,, (1968). Hardcover first edition -. Fine in near fine dust jacket (some toning to the spine of the dj, but a tight and clean copy, original price of 4.95 on dj flap). First US printing. A novel of "ribald realism" by this award-winning writer. "In Luino, in the years just before Fascism when the 'nineteenth century drew to a long-overdue close,' Emerenziano Paronzini, a dour but distinguished looking man of 45, takes up residence, eyes the rather unattractive sisterhood - all unwed - Tarsilla, Fortunata and Camilla, and eventually proposes to Fortunata .. By the close is trigamously servicing all three sister. A wholly funny, bawdy, small story told with scapegrace irreverence and a knowing leer." (Kirkus) Translated from the Italian by Julia Martines. 180 pp.
