	Welcome to IAWA - Italian American Writers Association
		When Italian American readers are fully conversant their literature and history, they will find writers to examine it from the inside.
		Italian Americans will have leaders of thought and opinion to speak to the point, intellectuals who can place it in the context of other issues, poets and novelists who can give the most intimate portrait of what it means to live in a given position.
		To name someone an Italian American writer will be to confer an honor and to share a powerful American freedom, the freedom to express one’s position as fully, as clearly, as widely as it is possible to do.

	Carmen Covito Web - Integrated Italian
		On a linguistic level, lettered writers are poles apart from the new novelists and the novissimi-novi, who instead, unlike the lettered writers, have not only seen the Madonna of the standard national language but are intimate with her and live happily with her.
		There are also some younger writers like Nove, Ammaniti, and Brizzi, whose stylistic use of the spoken language is a conscious choice coherent with their themes, almost always based on juvenile motifs and written with the structural rhythms often associated with rock music or TV channel surfing.
		Surely if the writer has it in mind to write a contemporary novel (one not meant to be historical or antiquarian or commercial), that writer must portray different sociocultural environments, characters of different provenance, personality, and linguistic competence, high, middle, middle-low, and low usage of language, and maybe even more than one narrating voice.

	intemperanti
		In her discussion of the critical debate surrounding the new Italian narrative, Bernadi confirms that the new phenomenon that characterized the Italian literary scene of the Nineties was the rise of the “young writers”, that is, authors born in the Sixties and Seventies.
		Though new writers were not considered a sound commercial investment (traditionally, and in the 1970s in particular, major publishers tended to support established authors, and translations of works from other countries were offered to meet the growing demand for new fiction), smaller publishers were more willing to take a chance on unknown authors.
		This new generation of under-30 writers (all born between 1974 and 1978) have no connection with the earlier cannibali; although the young writers embody a certain degree of youthful immoderation, differences are perceptible.

		Italian Americans of second and third generations also continue to be fascinated by this image, incorporating, negotiating, and interrogating the figure of the pining mother in poetry and in fictional narratives.
		Writers from the third generation continue to concern themselves with the fate of the Italian family in America, though their narratives at times depict an attenuated family status and communities in dispersal.
		As a result, these writers are invoking the role in order to move beyond the traditional narrative of sorrowful mother and crucified son, though all the writers discussed in this essay are decidedly indebted to this image.

		However, hindered by his lack of familiarity with the vast body of literature created by American writers of Italian descent, Talese reduced the experience of Italian-American writers to his own, and offered a number of explanations which sound plausible, but which, in reality, do not reflect my belief that you are what you read.
