James Purdy (1914-2009) był amerykańskim pisarzem, poetą i dramaturgiem. Mimo że ostatecznie został nazwany "prawdziwym amerykańskim geniuszem", jego pierwsze powieści zostały odrzucone przez znaczące wydawnictwa w Stanach Zjednoczonych i podobny los spotkał całą jego pisarską karierę. Artykuł śledzi historię włoskich przekładów twórczości Purdy'ego oraz opisuje jak włoskie domy wydawnicze, pomimo uprzedzeń krytyków amerykańskich, przyczyniły się poprzez swoją działalność kulturalną do rozpowszechnienia jego powieści i krótkich opowiadań we Włoszech.
James Purdy (1914-2009) was an American novelist, short-story writer, poet and playwright. Though later framed as ‘an authentic American genius’, since the beginning his early books were rejected by the major US publishing and his whole literary career followed a strange destiny. The paper traces back the history of his Italian translations and describes how the Italian publishing houses, despite the prejudices of the American critics, have contributed with their cultural activities to the spread of his novels and short stories in Italy.
