Su questo libro

Recensione:

"Robert Girardi is the only writer I know of who is working successfully in the neglected tradition of Guy de Maupassant, Isak Dinesen, and Edgar Allan Poe--with as protean an imagination and as dexterous a pen as any of theirs.  You can read these seven moral tales for pure entertainment, then wait to see what else may linger."
--Madison Smartt Bell
