Il libro dei primati = The book of primates : a bilingual Italian-English edition / Mario Moroni ; translated from Italian by Mario Moroni with Olivia Holmes.
"The bilingual Italian-English manuscript Il libro dei primati / The Book of Primates combines prose and poetry to revisit/reimagine the folkloric traditions of two American states where the author spent many years: the state of Maine and that on New York. In his reworking/recreating these traditions he looked at traditional poems, ballads, tales, legends, and revisited them through a contemporary experimental language and contents. The result is a series of new texts, each the result of a contamination between the original texts and the author's own re-imagining them, in light of modern settings and contents. This work is very far from being just a "re-writing" of traditional materials. It is rather an approach where he re-generates the old traditions."-- Provided by publisher.
