Central to most is a preoccupation with the relationship between writing and the world. The authors deal with a vast range of topics and periods - including present-day events, the past, and the problems faced by women and by society as a whole - but nearly all look at how such matters might be tackled in literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith each chapter written by an Italian specialist and a full introduction setting the novelists in their historical and cultural context, \u003cem\u003eThe New Italian Novel\u003c\/em\u003e is essential reading for anyone wanting an English introduction to the best of Italian writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zygmunt G.
