Characterizing him as a polyhedric writer, Trubiano (Italian, Montclair State U.) analyzes Flaiano's (1910-72) writing in widely varying genres. Her arrangement is not strictly chronological,
but gathers work from different periods and genres into sections based on her understanding of his intention. They are the recurring colonialist nightmare, writing the contemporary existence,
and in transit from Italian national to citizen of the world. Quotations are in Italian, with English translation in the end notes. Distributed in the US by Associated University Presses.
