Tim Parks is the best-informed writer in English about contemporary Italy from a foreigner's point of view.This rattles along with very acute observations about la brutta figura that is 21st century Italy...with the merda della campagna still on the fashionable shoes!

Andrew is on page 248 of 357 of Beastly Things (Commissario Brunetti, #21)
Donna Leon's Brunetti really gets to the crux of Italy's 21st century mal di tempo! Some uncharacteristicly pungent social comment...far exceeding her previous rather half-hearted criticism of her adopted home.I'm still a little bit in love with Paola...Brunetti's bookish but bold wife...
