Abstract
Author(s): Simpson, Thomas H | Abstract: A Defense of Honesty in the Land of Corruption is a translation of Apologo sull'onesta nel paese dei corrotti, by Italo Calvino, published in La Repubblica, March 15, 1980, and republished in Romanzi e racconti, volume terzo, Racconti e apologhi sparsi, Meridiani, Mondadori, 2005. Composed in the affabulatory but essential style of his collection of traditional Italian fables, the piece presents in few words a stark portrait of contemporary Italy, where every good citizen proceeds with clear conscience and high moral certainty to pocket illicit gains and defraud the state.
