OverviewThe painter Guido Diamante is plunged into the mystery surrounding the apparent suicide of his rascal mentor at the Hudson River College. Exciting, heady times ensue as he reviews his own guilty past and traces his life through a labyrinth of adventures from the sexy, psychedelic 1960s to the financial crisis of 2008. Steeped in references to Renaissance art, alchemy, and the Tarot, Carnevale is a family saga, a satire of the art market and of faculty life, and the story of Guido's love for his wayward cousin Tina, a psychic like him.

Table of ContentsReviewsPoet Peter Fortunato's debut novel, Carnevale, is all that its name promises--festive and celebratory, but also poignant and sometimes sad, a reminder that even as we celebrate, a season of hardship might be heading our way. Fortunato has a poet's way with language and a magician's ability to turn a page into an adventure. Bravo! --Jeanne Mackin, author of The Last Collection Carnevale is a coming of age novel on a number of fronts, written in a language that is both intellectually accountable and as robust and lyrical as those first full-blown days of spring. It is a celebration, and it doesn't flinch. Family, Italian-American style, has never had it so good. --Lamar Herrin, author of Father Figure and Fractures.
