SUMMARY:Italian Cultural Institute in New York Book Club: One\, None\, and a Hundred Grand by Luigi Pirandello
DESCRIPTION:Special guest: Sean Wilsey\, translator of the newest edition of One\, None\, and a Hundred Grand. \nLuigi Pirandello’s final novel (published 1926)\, explores the fragmented nature of identity through main character\, Vitangelo Moscarda\, who suddenly realizes he is perceived as a different person by everyone he knows. This recognition leads him to question his own self and ultimately he seeks to dissolve his identity entirely. The story begins with a seemingly minor comment from his wife about his nose\, triggering a crisis that reveals the gap between his self-perception and the “hundred thousand” versions of him that exist in others’ minds\, making him “no one” in his own quest for a unified self. It’s a key work of modernism\, delving into themes of perception\, reality\, and the self. \nMarisa Castagno and Emanuele Capoano will be our guides throughout this journey. \nWhen purchasing directly from the publisher\, archipelagobooks.org\, IIC Book Club members receive a 40% discount on the cost of the book by using PIRANDELLO40 coupon code at check-out.
