| Its Faulknerian prose manages to be both purple and flat while its political reflections are just banal. Loosely framed as a Faulknerian chronicle of the decline of a noble family into penury and disarray, Pea's autobiographical novel casts a sharp and vitriolic anticlerical eye on the disintegration of Italian rural life at the turn of the century, as the traditional hierarchies of class and gender were giving way to a kind of generalized delirium. What Faulkner's characters "do" in the present is always quite legibly either an attenuated or apotheosized (to pick two Faulknerian words that don't even get us past "a" in the alphabet) form of some practice of the past. |
