Cesare Pavese and Antonio Chiuminatto

'This volume is an invaluable tool for the study of Cesare Pavese's Americanism, in particular, but also of his notions on writing, in general. Particularly notable is its illumination of Pavese's linguistic development in the English language. Pietralunga's edition will prove fascinating to anyone interested in the socio-cultural exchange between Italy and the United States during the first half of the twentieth century.'-Anthony Julian Tamburri, Dean, John D.
