Has anyone read this book before?
I just finished it: it was really good.

Blurb:

while Malatesta was hiding from the police he regularly went to a cafe in Ancona, Italy. He had shaved off his usual beard but he was still taking a risk. Especially as this wasn't an anarchist cafe, but had a variety of customers including the local policeman. The Conversations he had in this cafe became the basis for the dialogues that make up this book."

So good!

I just might have to buy that. It seems to me that my story about Malatesta would lose a lot if I didn't read some of his own writings. Unfortunately, it seems to only be printed by anarchist presses, which usually charge high amounts for their books (I can understand why, though).

You could probably find a copy on the net (though I haven't - mines in book form).

A good place to find his writings is here. (http://dwardmac.pitzer.edu/Anarchist_archives/malatesta/MalatestaCW.html)
