DANIELE DEL GIUDICE was born in Rome in 1949. He is author of two previous novels and a novella. Being a qualified pilot with many a story to tell, he was encouraged to write the present book by Federico Fellini. JOSEPH FARRELL, journalist, reviewer and broadcaster, teaches Italian at Strathclyde University. Italian novelists whose work he has translated include Leonardo Sciascia and Vincenzo Consolo; he has also translated plays by Goldoni, De Filippo and Dario Fo.
