Duncan and Clotilda - an extravaganza with a long digression
by Guareschi, Giovanni, 1908-1968.
pub by Farrar, Straus and Giroux, New York 1968 - - isbn (none) LCCN = 68-24598 - -
216 p.
The wildest of Guareschi's books which I have read. Duncan is a rather
spoiled young man and Clotilda is equally spoiled. They clash. The
story twists with a digression to illucidate the biography of the
narrator of the story, then the story of Duncan and Clotilda continues.
Improbable events are legion. This is a book where styalistically
Candide meets Baron von Munchausen. Read it and see if you can keep up
with the story. The end is almost OHenry-esque.
