Accademia

After the fascinating liquid novel, Benedetta in Guysterland, which won the American Book Award in 1994, Giose Rimanelli now presents us a new novel about academic life. Accademia deals with the day-to-day angst in a major American university. Stories of love relationships among nymphets wives and student lovers (hetero/homosexual) unfold amid the struggles for personal power in the realm of higher education. Accademia is the book of one who has experienced life at its deepest levels, the book of a moralist. Giose Rimanelli gained international fame with some of his novels during the 1950s, translated from the Italian in many languages and also made into movies and radio plays. He has lived in both the U.S.A. and Canada and has taught in major universities.
