She even allows selected dogs and cats to speak intelligently to the mystical child Giuseppe. Such sentimentality intrudes on the book's naturalistic tenor but seems, in the end. integral to Morante's purpose: to look at horror with innocent eyes and ask "Why?" In articulating that question, this demanding, powerful novel meets the stipulation laid down by Albert Camus: "The writer's role is not free of difficult duties. By definition he cannot put himself today in the service...
