An Italian Writer's Journey Through American Realities: Giose Rimanelli's English Novels (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781599540344)

This book deals with Giose Rimanelli's three American novels, which in turn deal with the political and societal perversion of the presidential years of Richard Nixon and the socio political corruption that became part of the American fabric of life for years to come. "Benedetta in Guysterland" brings forth the voice of the unheard, underage majority in the military engagement of Southeast Asia. "Accademia," the story of an academic couple, goes beyond the simple tale of a failed marriage and enters into the corrupt politics of the day and the administrative machinations that have an impact in the ivory towered community. "The Three-legged One," a continuation and more thorough version of the earlier "Accademia," handles the political cover-up of the Watergate debacle by relating it to the contemporary marital life of a couple on the verge of a divorce in the American university system.
