{"product_id":"9781462814978","title":"The Crowded World of Solitude Volume 1: the collected stories and essays","description":"WORLD LITERATURE TODAY:   “Albert Russo’s collected stories included in this hefty volume constitute an excellent testimony on the writer´s ability to create fiction which is both entertaining and thought-provoking in a surprising variety of contexts.  All of Mr Russo´s readers know that he can write as easily about his native Africa as about present-day New York or Italy; and the collection, with stories set in different places and milieus, highlights his special talent at transporting his readers from one scene to another, in a kind of “sentimental journey” through human experience.  Science fiction and fantasy are other paths trodden by Albert Russo in his quest for a pre-Babel reconciliation of man with himself in all his constitutive dimensions, linguistic and social, but also generic and transcendental.”     \u003ccenter\u003eN E W S !
