Description

An American adventure in the Antonioni vein—visually rich and emotionally mysterious. Part Mafia murder mystery, part novel of ideas, but most of all a love story, The Sadness of Antonioni follows Hank Morelli, a young assistant professor of film who is obsessed with Antonioni’s L’Avventura. As he embarks on an unlikely romance with a Wendy’s cashier, he is also drawn into the mystery of his grandfather’s underworld connections and tempted by his department chair and his department chair’s mysterious girlfriend, Nadia, to take part in a monstrous film project they are planning. Haunted throughout by the terror of time’s raw present without exit, The Sadness of Antonioni is an American adventure in the Antonioni vein-visually rich and emotionally mysterious-in which an unlikely young couple navigates the difficult waters of their relationship, each suffering the remnants of a violent past that must be resolved if they hope to stay together. Heartrending and unsparing, yet with a persistent comic vein, this is Frank Lentricchia’s seventh and most ambitious and disturbing novel to date.
