By A Swimming Pool Outside Syracusa


By A Swimming Pool Outside Syracusa


All afternoon I have been struggling to
communicate in Italian with Roberto and
Giuseppe, who have begun to resemble the
two male characters in my Italian for
Beginners, the ones who are always shopping
or inquiring about the times of trains,
and now I can hardly speak or write English.
