It’s thrilling to see the reaction to The Good Son/ Il Bravo Figlio in Italy. Once again I’m struck by the intelligence and quality of the writing. This review is by Ricardo Michelucci in Avvenire.

“The writing proceeds by subtraction, relying on the unsaid, to the ellipses, to the suspensions. Some wounds do not bleed but pulsate under the skin.”
