Il ferro e la rosa – Dialoghi su mondo e letteratura
A collection of interviews with eminent contemporary novelists and poets. Some gone and others still alive, they all played with the heavy, nodal matter of everyday life. Blacksmiths of words, they challenged the iron and fire of the human condition, forging creatures that populate and question our thoughts on a broad spectrum.
