What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘Expansive and intimate, sober and playful … A vivid account of one remarkable family’s role in shaping modern America’ Kirkus
‘Massini’s energetic, plainspoken epic reads like a never-ending folk ballad … lush, sprawling, rewarding’ Publishers Weekly
Stefano Massini invents a literary form with no boundaries, encompassing narrative, poetry, dramaturgy, different tones, songs, inventary, and the transcription of real voices in order to create an epic which still has resonance in our present.
Paolo di Paolo, La Stampa
Novel and history, novel and economy, novel and lesson: a necessary literary work that speaks to the needs of these wretched times
Goffredo Fofi, Il Sole-24 Ore
Stefano Massini has transformed a theatrical play into an epic novel. The Lehman Brothers as told by Massini are like the Karamazov by Dostoevsky or the Buddenbrooks by Mann
Massimo Giannini, La Repubblica
