Time On My Hands by Giorgio Vasta
A vivid and hellish description of Sicily in the late seventies, Time on my Hands is an unforgettable novel from a significant new voice in Italian fiction.
Time on My Hands can be seen as a politicised Lord of the Flies.. This is sophisticated, fascinating fiction. Independent on Sunday A taut, gripping psychological thriller. Catholic Herald Hunt's translation is outstanding ... the text fizzes. Vasta's novel is a gift to wordplay, riddled with allegory and literary influences. TLS Vasta still gets across the sense of a stagnating country that won't address the issues facing it, and of childhood dynamics against a backdrop of real political turbulence. Herald
Girogio Vasta was born in Palermo and lives in Turin. This is his first novel.
