Narrative Concering Books My First Seven Years (Plus a Few More)

An extraordinary coming-of-age memoir by the Nobel-Prize-winning playwright

 

My First Seven Years is Dario Fo's fantastic, enchanting memoir of his youth spent in Northern Italy on the shores of Lago Maggiore. As a child, Fo grew up in a picturesque village teeming with glass-blowers, smugglers and storytellers. Of his teenage years, Fo recounts the struggles of the Fascists and Partisans, the years of World War II, and his own tragicomic experience trying to desert the Fascist army.

 

In a series of colorful vignettes, Fo draws us into a remarkable early life filled with characters and anecdotes that would become the inspiration for his own creative genius.

His accounts of growing up in rural northern Italy are delightful. And his accounts of becoming the wonderful artist, performer writer are also fascinating.

An engaging account of childhood and youth (title is misleading -- this includes autobiographical material up to his early twenties) include life with his stationmaster father in a very small town in the Italian Alps.
