Praise
“Here is life, death, love and destiny, the transitory and the territory, the ancient community and the current destruction, exaltation and defeat, all of which is told with intensity, passion, irony.” – Alberto Asor Rosa, La Repubblica
“A thought-provoking and beautiful book.” – Enrica Brocardo, Vanity Fair
“A very intriguing novel: internal, poetic, anticonventional and, especially, told with an incredibly promising narrative ambition.” – Errico Buonanno, Il Riformista
“Very funny … Bologna draws a vivid … picture of village life, with all its affections and petty competitiveness . . . a constantly surprising book.” – Independent
“Bologna manages to make you care, and with only a description of where a character stands or which direction they blew their cigarette smoke.” – California Literary Review
