    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "This article reconsiders Curzio Malaparte’s polemical novel \nLa pelle\n [1949]\n,\n which either has been condemned as a false historical account of post-Liberation Naples or defended as true “art.” Focusing on \nLa pelle\n’s representations of translation between the Allies and the Italians, I draw on contemporary translation theory to analyze how the text constructs these claims of “fidelity,” and to ask why they require the bodies of marginalized figures (the \nsoldato negro,\n the Moroccan \ngoumier\n and the “virgin”). While \nLa pelle\n “erases” these bodies, converting them into metaphors for art and war, my reading insists on their metaphorical \nand\n literal significance.",
