But the book is in the early '60s. For those who have difficulty remembering how many years have passed (often I did not realize the huge blocks of years that separate me from some books I read), I'm there: fifty
. The protagonist, which in effect seems to be Bianciardi - obviously clean, but obviously he is, but it is not really him, precisely because of those literary mechanisms that allow a writer to put myself in the hands of the reader without losing the property right on his soul - he moved to Milan from the province's booming economy with revolutionary intent.
