Milton is the nom de guerre of the book's protagonist, a one-time student of English literature who, in the chaotic last years of the war, has joined a partisan band. Before the war, gangly Milton was in love with the beautiful Fulvia-Fulvia let him read poetry to her-and now he hears that a friend and fellow-partisan, handsome Giorgio, was sleeping with her at the time. Jealous and furious, Milton hastens to confront Giorgio, only to discover that he has been captured by the Germans. A Private Affair tells the store with Milton's mad quest-pursued through mud and fog and rain and terror, while barely evading German and Fascist patrols-to rescue his friend and settle a personal grudge from a lost world of peace. Italo Calvino praised the book for the "geometric tension" between its themes of love and war and for its unsettling and utterly persuasive mingling of absurdity and mystery. The British novelist Paul Bailey has called the novel's closing pages "superb and superbly exciting." A Private Affair is a peerless story of the violent heart and world"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references 648 7 $a 1943-1947 $2 fast 650 0 $a College students $z Italy $v Fiction. 650 7 $a College students. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00867976 650 7 $a Militia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01021608 651 0 $a Italy $x History $y Allied occupation, 1943-1947 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Italy $x Militia $v Fiction. 651 7 $a Italy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204565 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Fenoglio, Beppe, 1922-1963. $t Private affair $d New York : New York Review Books, [2023] $z 9781681376752 $w (DLC) 2022015954 700 1 $a Curtis, Howard, $d 1949- $e translator. 830 0 $a New York Review Books classics. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117013416.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4899EC7E0CD411EEAAE9666853ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
