Praise for Story of My People:
“A short memoir of great charm, for all its sadness a pleasure to read…Nesi’s musings are as finely woven as his textiles.” —New York Times
“An intimate account of a homespun world, ‘glistening and weightless like silk,’ destroyed by rapid globalization…In gleefully biting prose, Nesi excoriates Italy’s politicians, its arrogant economists, and the ‘titanic foreign multinationals.’” —The New Yorker
“At once a memoir, a requiem, and a work of social and literary criticism…beautifully written.” —Bookforum
