“In Romani culture, when enjoying music we don't say, ‘Did you hear that?’ We say, ‘Did you feel that?’ I didn't just read Cazzarola! I felt it. As a Romani woman who has lived in Italy, this very relatable novel often echoed the pages of my own life. Bravo, Ta Aves Baxtalo!”  —Julia Lovell, Romani activist and filmmaker 

"Cazzarola! is a powerful, blunt, epic scream against social injustice." —David Lester, author,The Listener

“A brilliant title for a brilliant story of love and rage, which the author shares with his characters in every page. Cazzarola! reads like a film, a sort of Bertolucci’s Novecento recast in contemporary Italy. Nawrocki skillfully manages to interweave scene of everyday Italian life and fine psychological analysis in a grandiose historical fresco." —Davide Turcato, historian and editor, The Complete Works of Errico Malatesta

 “A stunning achievement!" —Ron Sakolsky, author, Swift Winds

"Nawrocki’s interweaving of characters’ questionings and challenges presents a microcosm of the fundamental idea of an anarchism that nourishes the dialectic of individual liberty within a community." —Steve Izma, Fifth Estate

"Cazzarola! touches the heart, shakes it between wrath and sympathy." —Peter Seyferth, Anarchist Studies

Norman Nawrocki is an actor, a musician, and the author of several books of poetry and short stories. He teaches at Concordia University, gives workshops about creative resistance, and tours the world performing theatre, music, and cabaret. He lives in Montreal, Quebec.
