ELIO VITTORINI IS A NOVELIST WHO WRITES LIKE A GOOD POET. HE IS A RARE TREASURE, WHICH PERHAPS ONLY NEW DIRECTIONS PUBLISHING COULD HAVE FOUND, AND TRANSLATED. HIS NOVELS ARE LIKE NO OTHERS. HE DESCRIBES A SICILY WHICH SCIASCIA AND AND OTHER FINE WRITERS OF THAT ISLAND ALSO KNOW, BUT VERY MUCH IN HIS OWN WAY. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, TWO TITLES: "OMNIBUS" AND "WOMEN OF MESSINA"
