Summary: magnificent language
Comment: I read this book in italian, and I was absolutely impressed by the power of Bufalino's language. No matter what he writes about, you will be astonished by how effective it is. Like Marguerite Yourcenar, he manages to express very deep concepts with very few words: amazing. I am sure that also through the translation you will be able to appreciate it.

Summary: The Sicilian Magic Mountain
Comment: Set in a Sicilian sanatorium in the late 40s, this novel--written by one of the finest Italian writers of the 80s--deals (in fewer pages) with the same basic themes of Th. Mann's masterpiece. It is a mediterranean, sun-scorched, surrealistic, stylistically baroque magic mountain, and deserves 4 stars only because Bufalino is also the author of the amazing Lies of the Night. Partly autobiographic, this novel is haunted, like other Bufalino's novels, by endless literary echoes and is totally enjoyable by foreign readers.
