The Post-Modern Plains

"Voices from the Plains" is one of the most interesting and original narrative accomplishments of the last twenty years. Gianni Celati's poignant and disarming simplicity debunks all assumptions on modern life and leads us into a countryside populated by curiously urban loners. Around the human objects he observes, Celati creates an ideological void that compels us to the most honest considerations not really on them, but actually on ourselves.
