Reviews
Praise for Giorgio Scerbanenco "[ A Private Venus ] has just been released . . . in a crackling new translation by Howard Curtis. I read it in a single sitting . . . Scerbanenco was a trailblazing radical who pulled the mask off a whole era." -- John Powers , NPR's Fresh Air "Compelling." --The Wall Street Journal "A gem . . . A vivid portrait of Milan's seamy underbelly . . . Scerbanenco reveals Duca Lamberti to us; in doing so, he also unveils the Italian hardboiled hero." -- Crime Fiction Lover "Scerbanenco's dark, moody novels have much in common with the darkest of Scandinavian crime fiction . . . This forgotten noir classic from 1966 is finally available in translation. That's good news!" --Library Journal "There is courage in his books, the courage to call things by their name . . . No filters shield you from the reality, which is as desperate, fierce, and stark as in the best novels of James Ellroy or Jim Thompson." --Carlo Lucarelli "[Scerbanenco can be] as dark as Leonardo Sciascia, as deadpan realistic as Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö, as probing in his observation of people as Simenon, as humane as Camilleri, as noir as Manchette . . . but with a dark, dark humor all his own." --Detectives Beyond Borders "The Duca Lamberti novels are world-class noir, and their publication in English is long, long overdue." -- The Complete Review "A blast from the past, a sleek, stripped-down reminder of the fast, brutal days of Continental noir." -- Kirkus, "A noir writer richly deserving rediscovery." -Publishers Weekly "The Duca Lamberti novels are world-class noir, and their publication in English is long, long overdue" -The Complete Review "A gem...a vivid portrait of Milan's seamy underbelly..." -Crime Fiction Lover "[Scerbanenco can be] as dark as Leonardo Sciascia, as deadpan realistic as Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö, as probing in his observation of people as Simenon, as humane as Camilleri, as noir as Manchette...but with a dark, dark humor all his own. The first-ever English translation of his 1966 novel has to be the year's biggest event yet for readers of translated crime fiction." -Detectives Beyond Borders, "A noir writer richly deserving rediscovery." --Publishers Weekly "The Duca Lamberti novels are world-class noir, and their publication in English is long, long overdue" --The Complete Review "A gem...a vivid portrait of Milan's seamy underbelly..." --Crime Fiction Lover "[Scerbanenco can be] as dark as Leonardo Sciascia, as deadpan realistic as Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö, as probing in his observation of people as Simenon, as humane as Camilleri, as noir as Manchette...but with a dark, dark humor all his own.

Synopsis
"A noir writer richly deserving rediscovery." -- Publishers Weekly The book that gave birth to Italian noir ... Milan, 1966: When Dr. Duca Lamberti is released from prison, he's lost his medical license and his options are few. But thanks to an old connection, he lands a job, although it's a tricky one: guarding the alcoholic son of a plastics millionaire. But Lamberti soon discovers that the young man has a terrible secret, rooted in the mysterious death of a beautiful woman on the gritty side of town. The fast cars, high fashion, and chic nightclubs of glitzy and swinging Milan conceal a dirty reality ... This is no dolce vita. A Private Venus marks the beginning of Italian noir: Giorgio Scerbanenco pioneered a new type of novel that trained its gaze on the crime and desperation that roiled under prosperous Italian society in the 1960s. And at the heart of this book is Duca Lamberti, an unforgettable protagonist: obsessive, world-weary, unconventional in his methods, and trying hard not to make another fatal mistake.

It's like a brand new book but they only listed it as "good" so I'm very impressed and happy about my order! The service was fast and easy, they gave me an incredible offer I couldn't refuse, and I greatly appreciate it! The book looks like it came right from the store so it looks great, so great quality overall! Shipping was fast & they packaged it per the norm for book stores so everything was A++++. I can HIGHLY RECOMMEND them for sure & will buy from them again!
- a***9 (75)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufI would DEFINITELY purchase from this seller again. Seller might want to add more pics and better description because there was a tear on the back dust jacket that wasn’t mentioned. Could’ve happened during shipping so I’m not holding it against the seller. I fixed with tape on the inside of jacket. No harm/no foul. The seller had a more than generous price for this book + free shipping. NO complaints. Hence, I would purchase from this seller again without hesitation.
- a***t (1145)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letztes JahrBestätigter KaufPerfection. A++++ Five Star Seller. Pleasant to deal with. I received an incredible value on my purchase. My order was packaged with care and arrived in like new condition! It was just as described in the listing. The seller wasted no time in updating me with tracking information and shipped out. The order arrived quickly. I am pleased with all the aspects of my purchase and would look forward to doing more business in the future. Highly Recommended! Thank you, well done!Once Upon a Town: The Miracle of the North- 9780060081966, Bob Greene, hardcover (Nr. 305441282671)
