I'm Not Scared

"In prose that is by turns poetic and hard boiled, he unfolds the story of a violent crime while simultaneously evoking a child's vivid imaginative life. Although a page turner, his novel avoids cheap thrills and forces its readers to reflect on intractable social problems, most notably the impact of regional and class divisions on the Italian family....Jonathan Hunt has rendered he various registers of the Italian text with sensitivity and resourcefulness....Reading I'M NOT SCARED is an exciting and provocative experience--and the shock of its language is part of the draw."Ammaniti, Niccolò is the author of 'I'm Not Scared', published 2004 under ISBN 9781400075638 and ISBN 1400075637.
