Produktbeschreibung
In "The""Emperor of Ice Cream," Dan Gunn vividly captures a poignant, meaningful and exciting historical moment, that of Italian emigrants to Scotland before, during and after Mussolini s entry into the Second World War. Rich in descriptive detail and empathy with his vividly drawn characters, Gunn invites us not only to live their experience over the decades of this ambitious and fully realized novel s scope, but as importantly, he allows us viscerally to understand the dense texture of the history they lived. In prose characterized by simplicity and clarity, he unveils for us lives lived between love of country and the pernicious bigotry to which his exiles are subjected.His fully realized characters, entrapped in the competition between the seduction of and disgust with Fascism, share with us their enormously moving personal stories that intertwine with and are dictated by the tragic march of the twentieth century.
