My First Seven Years (Plus a Few More) by Dario Fo
"What I propose to tell is not the story of my life as an actor, author and director, but rather a fragment of my childhood. To be more exact, only the early part of it: the prologue to my adventure..."
So begins this extraordinary memoir of an extraordinary man. Born in 1926 on the shores of Lake Maggiore, the son of a station-master; Dario Fo grew up in a society rich with smugglers, jugglers, fantasists and itinerant story-tellers. But Mussolini's Fascists were also on the rise and, as war approached, the future actor, playwright and Nobel prize-winner began to find his own, wholly distinctive voice.
