""Aliss at the Fire," by Jon Fosse. The structure of it is unlike any other book I've read. The stream of consciousness that doubles back on itself again and again yet keeps moving forward; the brilliant repetition that never becomes redundant, creating a rhythm all its own."
""Unto the Sons," by Gay Talese. It tells the story of Gay's Italian family over many generations, two world wars and finally their emigration to the U.S. It is perhaps the most important book about the complexity of Italy, particularly southern Italy, and the Italians themselves."
