Quattro racconti inediti e altri ventidue testi, sconosciuti ai lettori perché usciti in plaquette fuori commercio, in libri d'arte o sulle pagine dei giornali, sono qui raccolti in un volume che si va a collocare tra i migliori di Piero Chiara. In maggioranza racconti, ma anche bozzetti, elzeviri, ritratti e riflessioni sul filo della memoria, questi testi rappresentano un caleidoscopio di quell'arte della narrazione breve che Chiara considerava la forma perfetta di una letteratura "a misura d'uomo", nella quale esercitare il suo gusto per il dettaglio. Sullo sfondo delle consuete lande tra Luino, il Verbano e la Svizzera, ma anche di mari e monti lontani, nascono così spiazzanti ingrandimenti di persone, ambienti e situazioni che, apparentemente indegni di attenzione, sono vivificati dallo sguardo ironico di Chiara e dalla sua capacità di cogliere il bizzarro annidato nelle pieghe del quotidiano, e di farlo diventare specchio dell'imprevedibilità della sorte e della caducità delle cose umane.

A delightfully Italian mystery, with undercurrent of satire, which keeps the reader guessing. Every Thursday for three years, Signora Giulia takes the train to Milan to visit her daughter. But one Thursday she simply disappears. And the case is left in your hands. You're a born detective, but you have so many unanswered questions - how can a young, beautiful high society woman just vanish into thin air? Why does her husband - a prominent criminal lawyer and much older man - know nothing about it? And who was she really visiting during those trips to Milan? For Detective Sciancalepre, the mystery is darker and more tangled than he imagined. Shadows are lurking in the grounds behind Giulia's house. Incriminating letters are exchanging hands. And no one is who they seem. Every twist and turn takes us closer to Giulia - and further from the truth.... Piero Chiara (born in 1913) worked as a court employee until the outbreak of Word War Two. When the Fascist authorities issued a warrant for his arrest in 1944 he fled to Switzerland, where his first work of literature, a collection of poetry entitled Incantavi, was published in 1945. After the war he returned to Italy, and became one of the most celebrated writers of the post-war period. The winner of more than a dozen literary prizes - including the 1964 Campiello and the 1979 Bancarello - he is widely read and studied in his home country, and his stories and novels have been adapted for both television and film. Piero Chiara died in 1986. The Disappearance of Signora Giulia is his first book to be translated into English.

"Piero Chiara’s novel is at once a murder mystery and a lyrical study of desire, greed, and deception. The ending is simply stunning." —André Aciman, author of Call Me by Your Name Summer 1946. World War Two has just come to an end and there’s a yearning for renewal. A man in his thirties is sailing on Lake Maggiore in northern Italy, hoping to put off the inevitable return to work. Dropping anchor in a small, fashionable port, he meets the enigmatic owner of a nearby villa who invites him home for dinner with his older wife and beautiful widowed sister-in-law. The sailor is intrigued by the elegant waterside mansion, staffed with servants and imbued with mystery, and stays in a guest room previously occupied by a now deceased bishop related to his host. The two men form an uneasy bond, recognizing in each other a shared taste for idling and erotic adventure. They soon set sail together, encountering old flames and making new conquests. But tragedy puts an abrupt halt to their revels and shatters the tranquility of the villa. What really happened on the dock? And who was the figure glimpsed cycling around the shore in the dark? A sultry, stylish psychological thriller executed with supreme literary finesse.

As prickly as a chestnut, this little hardshelled story from the Italian countryside is full of the ribald realism which began many years ago with Boccaccio. In Luino, in the years just before Fascism when the nineteenth century drew to a long-overdue close, Emerenziano Paronzini, a dour but distinguished looking man of 45, takes up residence, eyes the rather unattractive sisterhood -- all unwed -- Tarsilla, Fortunata and Camilla, and eventually proposes to Fortunata.

“If Hemingway had the passion for pool that he had for bullfighting, his hero might have been Eddie Felson” (Time). The novel that inspired the classic film starring Paul Newman and Jackie Gleason, The Hustler tells the story of Fast Eddie Felson, a young pool player who hustles suckers in small towns, looking for stake money so he can reach his goal: a marathon match in Chicago against Minnesota Fats. An exploration of guts, stamina, and character, and of the difference between winners and losers, this tense, gritty tale is “a wonderful hymn to the last true era when men of substance played pool with a vengeance” (Time Out).

Blunt, brutal, but infused with a deep sympathy, Knockemstiff is a pitch-dark and hilarious collection of stories set in a tiny town in Southern Ohio. The youth of Knockemstiff grow up in the malignant shadow of their parents; raised on abuse, alcohol, drugs and cigarettes, they are stunted in every possible way: emotionally, mentally, sometimes physically. They talk a lot about escape but they never so much as cross the county line.
