Aldo Palazzeschi (1885-1974) is arguably the major twentieth-century Italian writer who has been most neglected by the English-speaking world. Born in Florence and trained as an actor, Palazzeschi ranks high as a poet and fiction writer in his homeland. His work, which attempts to recreate the experience of a spectator watching and listening to a character on stage, won him the praise of F.T. Marinetti, the founder of Italian futurism, who enrolled the young poet in his avant-garde coterie despite the fact that, stylistically, Palazzeschi's work had little in common with futurism.A Tournament of Misfits brings together a selection of Palazzeschi's short fiction for the first time in English. Through clear and fluid translations, Nicolas J. Perella demonstrates Palazzeschi's use of laughter to debunk social and literary myths. As a social being, Palazzeschi felt himself a deviant, but he was saved from a self-destructive bitterness by his capacity for irony, which he often directed at himself as well as at others. Yet, it would be a mistake not to see the desperate yearning for liberation from society’s rigid code behind the irony and the fun in Palazzeschi's work. With this translation, Perella brings Palazzeschi to life for a new audience to appreciate. - E-bokEngelska, 2005

Teresa y Carolina Materassi son dos hermanas en la cincuentena que siempre han estado juntas y que se ganan desahogadamente la vida como bordadoras y costureras de lencería fina en un pueblito a las afueras de Florencia. Por sus manos pasan los ajuares de todas las muchachas casaderas de las buenas familias de los contornos; su fama de excelentes artesanas les ha granjeado la prosperidad de su negocio, el incesante desfile de las señoras de la aristocracia y la curia florentinas, e incluso una audiencia con el Papa.No siempre fue así. Las Materassi tuvieron que cargar desde jovencitas con las consecuencias de tener un padre derrochador y consentido que dilapidó el patrimonio familiar. Sólo contaron con su talento y su capacidad de sacrificio para responder a los acreedores y mantener la heredad, convertida ahora en un santuario de trabajo y de virtud. Pero su abnegación y su renuncia las han convertido también en dos seres exiliados de la vida.En este régimen ordenado, que en ocasiones parece una habitación cerrada a cal y canto, cae como un rayo un joven sobrino, Remo, cuyo cuidado les confía otra hermana que acaba de morir lejos de la familia. La vitalidad, el misterio, la alegre irresponsabilidad y, sobre todo, la belleza del muchacho provocan un vuelco catártico en la vida de las hermanas, y el contrapunto entre ambas formas de estar en el mundo dará lugar a momentos que destilan una sutil e incesante comicidad.Un narrador punzante y burlón relata la fascinación de las mujeres por el hermoso adolescente, que despierta en ellas una agitación que parecía extinguida y las arrastra a una huida hacia adelante con un sustancioso viraje final y humor, un acerado juego de espejos psicológico siempre suspendido en el filo entre la risa y la melancolía, la ironía y la compasión.Plena de modernidad y definida por André Gide como la mejor novela italiana de su época, Las hermanas Materassi consagró a Aldo Palazzeschi, una de las figuras más interesantes de las vanguardias italianas de la primera mitad del siglo XX.
