Last Summer in the City
A cult classic of Italian literature published in English for the first time, with a foreword by Andre Aciman, author of Call Me By Your NameIn the late 1960s, Leo Gazzara left his family in Milan and moved to Rome for work. Rome is indifferent. Soon unemployed, he has spent his time in an alcoholic haze, bouncing between hotels, bars, romantic entanglements, and the homes of his rich and well-educated friends.
All night they drive the city in Leo's run-down Alfa Romeo, talking and talking. Leo drifts, aimless and alone.On the evening of his thirtieth birthday, he meets Arianna, a young woman who is both fragile and seductive. They eat brioche for breakfast, drink through the dawn, drive to the sea and back.
A whirlwind beginning. This is the story of the year Leo fell in love and lost everything.Intense, brief, witty and devastating, Last Summer in the City is a newly rediscovered classic of Italian literature. Translated into English for the first time by Howard Curtis, Gianfranco Calligarich's romantic and despairing debut is reminiscent of The Great Gatsby, The Sun Also Rises and The Catcher in the Rye.
