Cesare Pavese Mythographer, Translator, Modernist: A Collection of Studies 70 Years after His Death

A new generation of Italian and American scholars meets Pavese, his literary masterpieces, and his legendary intellectual figure, casting a critical eye on his work and the surrounding debates. Erudite and refreshing, these readings address relevant topics such as Pavese’s (and Pasolini’s) use of myth, his relationship with American literature and American publishers, and his function in the Italian and Western canon of Modernist literature.
