Description: "This volume attempts to provide an analytical, structured context for and a critical approach to the Giovani Cannibali movement that takes into account how the changing cultural and social landscape affects Italian literature and narrative. It uncovers the networks of relations between canonical and non-canonical writings, between tradition and avant-garde, between "highbrow" and "lowbrow" literature.

The contributors extol changes in fiction, extricating the new elements in the hybrid and anticlassicist writing proposed by the Giovani Cannibali."--BOOK JACKET.
