This is the Naked Truth
2 Oct 2003
I'm a bit out on a limb here because the book I just read by Pirandello is "The Naked Truth" published in the mid 1930's. It is a collection of short stories including the title story. The book I'm rating a "5" here is not necessarily the same book. However, since each and every story was a joy to read, I believe that it is safe to recommend any collection of Pirandello short stories. The stories all take place in a rural Scicilian setting and they have the local flavor seasoned all through out. There is usually either a moral to the story, an implied deeper meaning, or an ironic twist. Among my favorites in "The Naked Truth" were the stories "The Annuity", "The Wayside Shrine", "The Wax Madonna", "The Red Booklet", "The Fly", and "The Benediction".
I initially picked up this book just to read a selection or two. Once I was midway through the first story, I was hooked. I have read other, longer works of the author and I enjoyed them. However, they were not as good as his short stories. I am looking forward to finding more of his short stories.
