Boccaccio ’s work reflects both his middleclass mercantile background and the chivalric ideals of the Neapolitan court‚ where he spent his youth.

Minimalist prose. All this has been enough to keep me away from Carver for about a decade--a fruitful separation that weaned me from the stylistic Jonestown Kool-Aid of "See Spot run. See Jane drink.
