In this four-story suite, a modern master of Italian literature delves into the wonder, grotesquery, strangeness, and desire of the human condition.
Combining and distorting elements of fables, fairy tales, and the alienating force of society, each of Moresco's stories features the central character at a different time of his life: childhood, adolescence, young adulthood. In these beautiful and unsettling narratives, a vivid physical world can't hide the strangeness of surroundings and the dream-like logic governing events. In "Blue Room," the adolescent protagonist carries on a voyeuristic relationship with a blind old woman in a mysterious clinic. In the title story, a stunning act of violence deepens the nightmarish tones and the protagonist's disorientation. Moresco's stories, full of bodily parts, functions, and desires, present a world where physical curiosity competes with shame, and the price of watchfulness is the secrecy and loneliness of isolation.
Richard Dixon lives in Italy and has worked full-time as a translator since 1996. He has translated work by Umberto Eco and Robert Calasso, as well as poetry by Franco Buffoni, Eugenio De Signoribus and Alba Donati.
