Confessions of an Italian review

       The most recent addition to the complete review is my review of Ippolito Nievo's nineteenth-century classic, Confessions of an Italian, a Penguin Classics edition now also available in the US -- and the first unabridged English translation.

       A recent Vogue-profile of Italy's currently hottest writer, Elena Ferrante, reported:
At sixteen, Ferrante found herself captivated by Ippolito Nievo's Confessions of an Italian
       And this translation made two 'Best of 2014' lists, The New Yorker's (Elizabeth Kolbert) and the New Statesman's (Lucy Hughes-Hallett).
       Tim Parks' recent review in The New York Review of Books seems to have helped generate some interest in this title, too -- good to see it get all this attention.
