Book Synopsis
Documents the infancy of film in Europe - complete with proto-divas, laughable production schedules, and cost-cutting measures with priceless effects - and offers a glimpse of the modern world through the camera's lens. This book captures early twentieth-century Italian filmmaking and reveals its truths as only a parody can.

Trade Review
"One cannot deny that Pirandello's plays and novels reveal a surprising individuality - ironic, inventive, and sometimes fantastical.... He serves up old wine in new bottles, carrying the thoughts and emotions of men into striking and unusual situations, replenishing their force by shifting their orbit from the commonplace to the extraordinary." - New York Times (1927)"
