Hi all,
I was wondering if you could recommend some decent books available in some of the Italian dialects. I just finished reading an Andrea Camilleri novel in Sicilian. Strictly speaking a kind of Italianized Sicilian so as to be comprehensible to a wide Italian public, but still. It was great fun. I'm wondering if there are novels that people know about in some of the other dialects, I'd love to check them out.. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Try "Quer pasticciaccio brutto de via Merulana" a thriller in Romanesque written by Carlo Emilio Gadda.
If you like Ladin there are also some novels published in that language (various dialects), but I don't know any title. I'd check also Sardinian: http://www.sardegnacultura.it/j/v/258?s=20315&v=2&c=2697&t=7 Check in town libraries the "local" sections, they usually have a copy of the books of the authors who have written in the local vernacular, even if they are now out of print. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Check this Wikipedia article (in Italian).
http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maldobrie It's a series of books by L. Carpinteri and M. Faraguna written in the dialect of Trieste (a variation of the Venetian dialect). 1 person has voted this message useful | |

"A Brüsinpiàn gariva ul suu: Una storia d'Alzheimer" was ok, if you want a very Northern dialect.

If you like poetry, Pier Paolo Pasolini has written several collections of poems in Friulian.

Stefano D'Arrigo uses Sicilian in his novel Horcynus Orca.
