Divertimento 1889 by Guido Morselli (tr. Hugh Shankland) (jacquiwine.wordpress.com)
When Guido Morselli took his own life at the age of sixty, Italy may well have lost one of its finest writers. Up until the time of his death in 1973, not one of Morselli’s novels had been accepted…
From the archive for Guido Morselli, #BornOnThisDay in 1912, my thoughts on DIVERTIMENTO 1889.
An utterly charming novella about a king who goes off on a lark - a celebration of the joys of freedom and the need to escape from one’s duties now and again. 💙📚
