Review of "La bellezza e l'inferno" on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
The anger of a fugitive writer against corruption.
An extract in English
"The power of literature lies in its ineffability. It cannot be reduced to a single dimension. It is not just one thing. It is not just news or information, sensation, pleasure or emotion. This multiplicity makes it possible for literature to go beyond any limits, to go beyond any single community or professional circle, to enter anyone’s life. It is a totally ungovernable instrument and can pass through any interface."
