Open Doors and Three Novellas

Open Doors and Three Novellas
- Used Book in Good Condition
â‚¬Å“A miniature masterpiece [by] one of the most distinctive voices in 20th-century European literature.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"The New York Times Book Review
Â
From one of modern Italyâ‚¬s greatest writers come four flawless novellas that combine history and fiction while mapping the treacherous relations between individuals and the state. Whether set amid the paranoia of the fascist past or the criminal and political labyrinths of present-day Italy, the novellas in Open Doors are thrillers of Kafkaesque moral gravity, beautifully written and relentlessly engrossing.
