Editor's notes

Literary Review,  Fall, 2005  

The Literary Review, is especially grateful to Minna Proctor, the guest editor for this luminous and provocative collection of Italian fiction. Proctor is an accomplished translator of Italian, essayist, and author of the nonfiction book, Do You Hear What I Hear: An Unreligious Writer Investigates Religious Calling. She has also been a warm and enthusiastic advisory editor at TLR. Her translation of readers' reports from Mondadori, "The Fascist Archives," from the Spring 2002 issue, drew international attention to TLR from London's Times Literary Supplement, Denmark's Politken, and from Italy's La Stampa.

The last issue of TLR devoted to italian literature--Winter 1985--featured work by Italo Calvino, Achille Campanile, Alberto Moravia, and Umberto Eco, among others. The first TLR collection of Italian writing appeared in 1959, and included work by Elsa Morante, Tommaso Landolfi, and Pier Paolo Pasolini. These names may be familiar now, but TLR was the first to introduce many of them to English readers. This is the third installation of this tradition. May it be Tong lived.
