A portrait of the sun-drenched volcanic city from an American

who has lost his heart to the place and to a beguiling Neapolitan

woman.

In Falling Palace Dan Hofstadter brilliantly reveals Naples,

from the dilapidated architectural beauty to the irrepressible

theater of everyday life. We witness the centuries-old festivals

that regularly crowd the city’s jumbled streets, and eavesdrop on

conversati*** that continue deep into the night. We browse the

countless curio shops where treasures mingle with kitsch, and meet

the locals he befriends. In and out of these encounters slips

Benedetta, the object of the author’s affecti***, at once inviting

and unfathomable. Weaving the tale of an elusive love togethe***ith

a vivid portrayal of a legendary metropolis, this is a startling

evocation of a magical place.

“Beautiful . . . Outstanding . . . Hofstadter’s book–free of

knowingness, charged with experience–is written with the ease of

affection and discovery . . . It is a story of love–for an arcane

city and for a girl, Benedetta, who embodies the Neapolitan enigma.

The city prevails on every page . . . Hofstadter has penetrated the

extended labyrinth, and his account of his explorati***, li***lly

breathtaking, is lyrical in the Neapolitan tradition.”

–Shirley Hazzard, The New York Times Book Review

“Lovely . . . Deeply felt . . . Those who know Naples and those who

don’t will enjoy Hofstadter’s delicious de*i*** of that

unusual metropolis. [A] deft writer . . . He makes these people

real and sympathetic to us . . . [He] succeeds wonderfully in

conveying the city’s mix of poverty and splendor . . . It’s

curiosity about Benedetta that will keep most readers turning these

pages, but in the end, it’s Hofstadter’s feel for her city that

satisfies most deeply.”

–Marjorie Kehe, Christian Science Monitor

“Secretive, shadowy and ***: what a lover Naples makes. Hofstadter

gives a good sense of its spectral exuberance . . . Like Annie

Hall, this is a tale of a fleeting romance looked back upon

many years later . . . with the city as much a character, and

object of his affecti***, as the woman.”

–Matt Weiland, Newsday

“Chilometri away from those sun-kissed, espresso-soaked

travelogues . . . Hofstadter paints a warts-and-all portrait of

both Benedetta and Naples, and the two are all the more alluring

for their imperfecti***.”

–Melissa Rose Bernardo, Entertainment Weekly
