Their commitment, their passion, their intelligence struck me very powerfully and made them among the most incisive essays on Italian-Americana, ethnicity, and diversity in literature that I have ever read.-Fred Misurella, author of Understanding Milan Kundera: Public Events, Private Affairs and Short TimePart memoir, part social commentary, and part literary criticism, Chiaroscuro is not only profoundly original but also of crucial importance in establishing the contours of an Italian-American tradition. Spanning a quarter century of work, the essays in Helen Barolinis essays explore her personal search; literature as a formative influence; and the turning of the personal into the political. Included in Chiaroscuro is an updated re-introduction to Barolinis American Book Award-winning collection, The Dream Book: An Anthology of Writings by Italian-American Women.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51786145071392,"sku":"NEW029916084X","price":29.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61mCuczw4eL.jpg?v=1780628461","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/chiaroscuro-essays-on-identity-revised-edition-029916084x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
