This groundbreaking study of Gadda’s narrative form identifies Gadda’s complex ‘baroque’ style as not merely an aesthetic conceit, but an expression of modern alienation and of loss, grief, and the need for solitude in the face of a fragmented reality.

The late Robert Dombroski was Distinguished Professor and Director of Italian Graduate Studies, The City University of New York.

'I am extremely impressed with Dombroski's book and I particularly admire the rigour, the methodological orientation, and the overall cultural richness which inform the work. There is no doubt that his research represents one of the most insightful contributions to Gadda scholarship.'
