PositiveLos Angeles Review of BooksThe translation of Morselli is a great gift, and we must applaud Frederika Randall for her work ... the present is likely a better time for the reception of Morselli’s novel; hopefully, the publication of his masterpiece will help to affirm him as one of the most interesting writers of the 20th century ... Randall was an ambitious translator of Italian classics; for the most part she has done a fine, even impressive job with Morselli’s often opaque prose. Yet...confusing passages sent me back to the Italian for basic comprehension ... Dissipatio H.G. is a classic that would benefit from multiple translations and editions, and one can only hope that this first publication in English is the beginning of a long and rich afterlife.
