Di Donato hits where you live, to remember until you die.
Those who are familiar with the name Pietro di Donato usually begin and end their knowledge with his first novel,
Christ in Concrete
(1939). Here instead you will find the imaginative, pithy, and passionate word renderings of life according to the writer beyond that first novel. In every story you'll feel the fierce, unfiltered sensuality of a writer who turns contempt into expression, body parts into poetry, transgressions into confessions, and experiences into the basis for his political stands.
