for those who think that imagination is a value

I am an Italian College student and browsing on the Internet I find out that one of my favourite book has been translated in enghlish. That is a really pleasant surprise for me, for I think that Bufalino is a really good writer. Moreover when I read this book I found myself living in another place and time and I could feel the warmth of the Sicilian sun even when lying on my bed in a cold winter night. The style of the author is certainly admirable since he uses words in such a way that this book sounds more like a poem than the narration of a period of the author's life. I believe that Bufalino's "Blind Argus" is a fantastic book! If you know how to fly with your imagination and read it, believe me, you will think the same!Anna Ferigo
