New York, NY, U.S.A.: Columbia University Press, 1989. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Belmonte describes life in an impoverished Naples, Italy, neighborhood, where casual criminality and anger set the tone. "At a time when we have so much difficulty understanding poverty in our own country, it is interesting to look at some other country's poor, to examine their anger and frustration. . . . The forms taken by their aggressions and their defenses, the configurations of their pride and their sense of self, the degree to which they fall back on love for consolation, or on friendship. . .This is what Thomas Belmonte does in The Broken Fountain." - Anatole Broyard. In a book of uncommon eloquence, Mr. Belmonte . . . has drawn a series of unsparing portraits showing us how these people live.
