Reviews

‘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
