The Skin
|
 |
This is quite a rare find! Penned by Curzio Malaparte, a literary renegade and satirical raconteur, he was assured fame when he wrote "The Skin"--'a macabre tour of the gutters of war-time Naples' according to Time--drawing on his observations as a liaison officer wit Allied forces occupying Italy. A vivid portrait of occupied naples, it is also a phantasmagoric grotesquerie, rooted as deep in the art of Bosch as in Malaparte's newsman's notebooks.
