TRP in Italy

[Bernardino Adamini]

>_Gravity's Rainbow_ isn't translated yet in Italy. It is possible, but
>difficult, to find a hard cover translation of _V._ and _Vineland_. I think
>that the only translation of _The Crying of Lot 49_ is out of print.
>
>Pynchon is little known and appreciated in Italy. I know only two people who
>read his books: me and a friend of mine whom I gave _V._ to as a present.
>
>The two of us are enthusiast.

'V' and  CL49 first published (with  excellent traslations)  by Bompiani in
1968 and quickly gone into the remainder's .
CL49 reprinted in paperback by Mondadori in 1988  in a series including
also 'Jhonny Panic and the Bible of Dreams' by S. Plath  and  a collection
of novels by R. Wilson.
V reprinted hardbound by Rizzoli  in  1992 .
Slow Lerner  translated  as 'Un lento apprendistato'  by E/O  editions  in
1988 at the same time  of the reprint of   CL49 .
Vineland   published   by Rizzoli in 1991.
All  of them, although critically acclaimed, didn't gain a large public ,
as it was for other contemporary american writers  I  love , like  Coover
and Gass.

' Boy I seen  punchies in my sweet time  but this  cookie takes the cake
God bless the laboring classes I say  and preserve us  from the humble
freak !'
