520    The first novel from award-winning author Gianfranco 
       Calligarich to be published in English, Last Summer in the
       City is a witty and despairing classic of Italian 
       literature. Biting, tragic, and endlessly quotable, this 
       translated edition features an introductory appreciation 
       from longtime fan New York Times bestselling author André 
       Aciman.In a city smothering under the summer sun and an 
       overdose of la dolce vita, Leo Gazarra spends his time in 
       an alcoholic haze, bouncing between run-down hotels and 
       the homes of his rich and well-educated friends, without 
       whom he would probably starve. At thirty, he's still 
       drifting: between jobs that mean nothing to him, between 
       human relationships both ephemeral and frayed. Everyone he
       knows wants to graduate, get married, get rich―but not 
       him. He has no ambitions whatsoever. Rather than toil and 
       spin, isn't it better to submit to the alienation of the 
       Eternal City, Rome, sometimes a cruel and indifferent 
       mistress, sometimes sweet and sublime? There can be no 
       half measures with her, either she's the love of your life
       or you have to  leave her.First discovered by Natalia 
       Ginzburg, Last Summer in the City is a forgotten classic 
       of Italian literature, a great novel of a stature similar 
       to that of The Great Gatsby or The Catcher in the Rye. 
       Gianfranco Calligarich's enduring masterpiece has drawn 
       comparisons to such writers as Truman Capote, Ernest 
       Hemingway, and Jonathan Franzen and is here made available
       in English for the first time. Gianfranco Calligarich was 
       born in Asmara, Eritrea, and grew up in Milan before 
       moving to Rome, where he worked as a journalist and 
       screenwriter. He wrote many successful TV shows for RAI, 
       the national public broadcasting company of Italy, and 
       founded the Teatro XX Secolo in 1994. He is the author of 
       many novels, including La malinconia dei Crusich, which 
       was the winner of the Viareggio-Rèpaci Prize. Last Summer 
       in the City is the first of his novels to be translated in
       English.
