Reviews
Praise for The Bird That Swallowed Its Cage

"Unusual, engaging literary synthesis from a renowned film artisan and his private obsession, an Italian writer and political radical largely unknown in America...sparkling prose drives a fascinating snapshot of a literary life buffeted by the great conflicts of his time."--Kirkus

"Curzio Malaparte is one of the most startling and unexpected chroniclers of the violence of the twentieth century, and Walter Murch's translations are tone-perfect." --Robert Hass
