Just a brief reminder for all the "italianisti" who are interested in travel literature. There will be two sessions at the next AAIS meeting in Oregon (April 1999) devoted to this exciting topic. Please contact me with suggestions, ideas, and proposals. The field is vaste and takes a Protean nature, the relevance of travel in literature is beyond any reasonable doubt: all we need is your participation!
