Flags are easier to post than they should be, of course, but I did wish to align Luciano (the 1st monochrome) with a characterisation which is consistent with Bassani's, because he is one of the two personages in this fragment whom we all know very, very well. The other, the conscious assassin, is a little masterwork of tragedy in fiction, but he is also familiar in life, as goes without saying. This final chapter - indeed, final paragraph - in Bassani's novel has impressed me for a long time; my copy of the text is in its first edition in English, and I got it when I was only slightly older than Luciano, who is in his last year in liceo. That I have found anyone to discuss it with in decades is made possible by my Apple computer. Embraces, Lucien.Laurenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17972899387484460347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4751850602006071202.post-37516858554587990892011-10-05T20:13:16.058-04:002011-10-05T20:13:16.058-04:00bravo for your brave flags of emotions !bravo for your brave flags of emotions !Lucienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16749073528569025228noreply@blogger.com
