Product Description
Published by UCD Foundation for Italian Studies (2013)
The book contains an introduction on Camilleri by Eric Haywood, Head of Italian
Studies at UCD and Director of the UCD Foundation for Italian Studies; the Citation
pronounced at Camilleri’s honorary conferring; an exclusive interview with Camilleri;
an article by Camilleri on Samuel Beckett’s love for Dante; and a piece by Stephen
Sartarelli, Camilleri’s English-language translator, on the challenges of translating
Camilleri (all in English, with facing Italian original).
It also contains excerpts from the historical novel Un filo di fumo (A Wisp of Smoke),
Camilleri’s very first work to have been translated into a foreign language (namely,
Irish), accompanied by the corresponding excerpts from the Irish translation, and an
English translation especially commissioned from Stephen Sartarelli.
