Giose 1959

This is an analysis of Giose Rimanelli's controversial book, "Il mestiere del furbo" (1959), which caused Rimanelli to leave Italy for North America, never to return on a regular basis. Ragni engages in both a philological and deconstructive act in his intimate reading of the book itself and the aftermath of the publication both for Rimanelli and Italian literary culture at large.
