If I have a piece of information related to Abruzzo that I just want to pass on without comment I usually use Twitter. In this case I’ve decided to write a short post because I know that many readers of this blog are very interested in Ignazio Silone and not everyone follows using Twitter.
Bitter Spring: A Life of Ignazio Silone
I spotted this review of the book by Harry Clifton in The Irish Times back in July. And today I was prompted to write this post when I came across this excerpt from the book and this review by Geoffrey Wheatcroft in The New York Times. I did a quick search, and although there are a few other reviews out there, at first glance the reviews above seem very informative.
I struggled with the frst two parts of Silone’s Abruzzo Trilogy, Fontamara and Bread and Wine, when I read them. I haven’t had the inclination to start part three, The Seed Beneath The Snow, yet. I expect I will at some stage. For those of you who have a better feel for Ignazio Silone’s work than I do, or for those who wish to understand this complex writer and his motivations, Bitter Spring: A Life of Ignazio Silone
