Description
Summary:In Gesualdo Bufalino’s work, quotation is considered a trait d’union, an assiduous and constant reference to a literary memory which is inescapable. Citing becomes part of the act of writing: it allows the author to create an intertextual dialogue with a tradition which is skillfully reconsidered in order to produce variations.
