Is that from Coup d'état? The Skin is worth reading - an opinion I would have formed even if I hadn't grown up in Naples.

It's gruesome beyond belief, this is after Malaparte was disillusioned by fascism, fundamentally anti-german.

You know that it's the product of him being sent to the eastern front after he included that Hitler as a woman chapter in the techniques of coup d'état. Germans wanted him to be extradited so they can punish him but because of his connections Mussolini intervened personally.

For a man whose professed allegiances shifted with the prevailing winds, it's curious his internal exile for that Hitler chapter (before he was sent to the eastern front) was spent on Lipari - the island of Aeolus.

You see he was anarchist to begin with. In those days, anarchists were more aligned with fascists. He did a canonical mistake by thinking that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
