Italian Neighbors: Or, A Lapsed Anglo-Saxon in Verona by Tim Parks
1.0
Tim Parks has an engaging, sometimes humorous writing style, but I can hold no respect for this book. Aside from the pointless and meandering egotism the reader is forced to endure, the reader must also read about Parks and his wife actually attempting to poison a dog, because it is barking at night. Because it is supposed to be funny. They go so far as to buy rat poison and make a few tests about what the dog will eat. Thankfully, they decide not to go through with it.[return][return]What Tim Parks (and his wife) really needed were earplugs, a white noise machine, and some brains.
