Praise
“Italian author Genovesi has written a comical novel that…has quiet charms… Fiorenzo, for example, proves the universality of adolescent awkwardness; his sometimes requited love for Tiziana is sweet, Mirko is an especially appealing addition to the cast, and the Tuscan setting is nicely realized.” —Booklist
“[Live Bait] will open up that part of you that you’ve been trying to cover with dirt and paper in your attempt at adulthood.” —Three Percent
“Genovesi’s books are a gift for everybody.” —Vanity Fair (Italy)
“If John Irving had an Italian son, he would be named Fabio Genovesi.” —Schnüss, Das Bonner Stadtmagazin
“[This novel] recalls the movies of Dino Risi, Ettore Scola, or Mario Monicelli…we find in it the same cocktail of political and social satire, typical Italian self-derision, and deep humanity.” —Livres Hebdo
“[Live Bait] is a fine example of contemporary Italian literature and a wonderful book that perfectly captures life in Italy.” —Upcoming4.Me
