Last Summer in the City

Gianfranco Calligarich: L'ultima estate in città (1973) | Der letzte Sommer in der Stadt | Last Summer in the City

 

A cult classic of Italian literature that, after initial successes in its first publication year of 1973, was twice forgotten and twice rediscovered (reissues in 2010 and 2019). After the last rediscovery, however, the novel was also translated into numerous languages. A fascinating, witty and melancholic novel with a very unhappy ending.

 

"This cult classic of Italian literature is witty, romantic, tragic and endlessly quotable." www.weltbild.at/artikel/sonstiges/last-summer-in-the-city...
