Seasons in (or at Least Near) Basilicata
I have been preparing for a first trip to Italy - southern Italy near Naples.
After reading Carlo Levi's Christ Stopped at Eboli, David Yeadon's Seasons in Basilicata offers another glimpse into unexplored southern Italy.
Seasons in Basilicata is a book that defies classification: part travel book, part history, part fiction (so I'm told by a "reliable" source close to the Yeadons), part cook book, part literary criticism. Seasons in Basilicata has an allure that pulls the reader in and reminds us just how unexplored our world still is.
