Reviews

Stefania Lucamante displays an impressive erudition. The range of philosophical, theoretical, and critical texts cited and alluded to is wide. - Eugenio Bolongaro, Department of Italian Studies, McGill University Stefania Lucamante provides a very original and insightful work, based on rigorous scholarship and critical finesse. With an impressive critical apparatus, Righteous Anger in Contemporary Italian Literary and Cinematic Narratives is an important contribution to the study of contemporary Italian narrative and cinema. It also represents a theoretically vigorous call for art's ethical responsibility in the context of today's populist rage, misogyny, homophobia, and xenophobia. - Gian-Maria Annovi, Department of French and Italian, University of Southern California
