Cesare Pavese and America: Life, Love, and Literature

Suggested Reading

Suggested Reading [฀฀279฀฀] In 2007 Luisella Mesiano published her annotated bibliography, Cesare Pavese di carta e di parole: Bibliografia ragionata e analitica (Alessandria: Edizioni dell’Orso, 2007). This wonderfully comprehensive and intelligently organized work not only includes bibliographic data on all works by Pavese but lists virtually everything written about him in Italian through the end of 2006. Her many summaries and annotations make the book invaluable and essential for research on all aspects of Pavese. With such a resource already available, I include here only those sources in Italian that proved to have particular relevance to my topic. As for Englishlanguage material, I concentrate on works that can provide both general and specific background information.
