Reseña del libro "Carnevale (en Inglés)"

Set in the Hudson Valley, beginning in the 1960s, Carnevale is at heart a family saga. The book begins as a memoir of the painter Guido Diamante’s unusual childhood at the Villa Giustovera—a "carnival" of characters and incidents, climaxing with an unforgettable costumed ball at his family’s hotel. When he abandons this project during the economic crisis of 2008 and returns to teaching at the Hudson River College, Guido soon becomes embroiled in a scheme to revive the reputation and market value of his rascal mentor, the painter Leo Declare, recently found drowned in the Hudson. At the same time, a childhood friend invites him to become a police sketch artist, providing Guido with an opportunity to do penance for the misdeeds of his youth, when he worked for Declare and his dubious partner at the Half Moon Café and Saloon. Guido’s labyrinth of memories is steeped in references to the “brave new world” of the sexy, psychedelic 60s, and is colored by his knowledge of Renaissance art, alchemy, and the Tarot. While seeking his own Philosopher’s Stone, Guido is also in search of his runaway cousin Tina, an irresistible beauty possessed of psychic abilities they both have inherited from their grandmother. Is she the key to his contentment?
