Moving in Measure

Enrico Palandri

Paris, June 1998, the day of the World Cup semi-final between France and Italy. The city is smouldering with hatred. The fear in the air is palpable. Skinheads and Neo-Nazis are on the rampage. The backdrop against which Giacomo Flores, a reporter for a prominent Italian daily paper, is only moments away from meeting his grown-up, pregnant daughter, Francesca, and his wayward son, Gianni, and a little later, Louis his divorced wife’s third child, and most important of all for him, Pauline herself, though not until the evening, which is still hours away.But these arrangements begin to unravel before any meeting can take place. There is a stabbing. Giacomo witnesses it and becomes involved with the police. Gianni sees his father being driven off with them. Francesca and Gianni do meet but, as violence erupts all around them, he hustles her away into a shop. He leaves her there, ostensibly to go and look for young Louis, but is drawn by the presumed revolutionary potential of the developing situation. He joins a small group of Kurds who are fleeing from both the skinheads and the police. For several hours, each member of the family lives out their individual responses to the turmoil all around them, yet in their thoughts they keep coming back to what should have been happening, and to the family’s broken history, and to whether or not any kind of reconciliation can be brought about, even now, after their thirteen-years’ estrangement.

The Other Evening

Rossella Riccobono

In the half-century following Pavese's death, much that was written about him sought principally to understand and define his complex character, and to determine his place within the twentieth-century Italian literary canon. Latterly, there appears to have been a significant shift in focus towards a closer reading of individual works or aspects or periods of his writing, the better to analyse and reveal the subtleties and depth of his vision. This present collection of ten essays conforms broadly with this tendency. It is organised chronologically with regard to Pavese's life and works so as to convey a sense of the development of a writer, over and above the particular concerns of any given essay. The book features contributions from many leading experts on Pavese.
