by Francesco Pacifico (Author), Elizabeth Harris (Translator)
A provocative and bracing send-up of modern masculinity from the author of Class and The Story of My Purity.Marcello, an editor and a poet, is on the brink of his forties. Like everyone in his life, including his sister-in-law, he's writing a novel. This novel. This novel will be about women. Love. Growing older. Maybe even taking responsibility. But unfortunately for Marcello, the women in his life resist definition. They flit and flicker constantly between archetype and actuality: sirens and saviors, subordinates and savants, vixens and villains.
