In this pitch-black war satire, author/character, Malaparte, recounts the horrendous moral degradation infecting American-occupied Naples--rampant prostitution, starvation and crime abound--in the wake of its “liberation” at the end of WWII. It is by turns hilarious, disturbing, revealing, and reprehensible. Like a CATCH-22 written by the bitter losing side.
