Surrealism of the Everyday

What a little gem of a book! Erba, through the brilliant translator's lens of Ann Snodgrass, comes through as a lyric poet of the precisely lived and described life. "I lived thirty meters from the ground / in a sprawling suburban complex . . .," writes Erba. This is a surrealism of the everyday. If you look long enough--and Erba has--you too will lift off the ground.
