Description
Literary Nonfiction. Trilingual Edition. Translations from the original English by Kleefeld into the Sicilian and Italian by Gaetano Cipolla. "Kleefeld's aphorisms are varied, complex ad difficult to categorize: they may be born out of an intuition, a reflection on past history, a sudden illumination, a novel twist on a well-known thought, but in the end they represent an invitation into a reflective world that can provide insights and prodding for self-enlightenment and growth."—Gaetano Cipolla, Translator
