Fenoglio's binoculars, Johnny's eyes

history, language, and narrative technique in Fenoglio's Il partigiano Johnny

"Beppe Fenoglio (1922-1963) is one of Italy's major postwar writers. Il partigiano Johnny, based on the author's experience as a partisan in the Langhe hills during World War Two, and written in an intriguing mixture of Italian and English, is considered to be his masterpiece. This new in-depth study argues that Il partigiano Johnny can best be interpreted by understanding the complex narrative techniques that Fenoglio employs, and by firmly placing the work within its historical context.

It also proposes a new solution to the puzzle of the language of this fascinating and complex work."--BOOK JACKET.
