The pleasures of the olive harvest and picking wild asparagus are juxtaposed with the vagaries of political corruption and self–perpetuating bureaucracy.

A celebration and exploration of a little–known part of Italy, \u003ci\u003eIn Maremma\u003c\/i\u003e is a fond if sometimes critical corrective to other more rapturous portrayals of Tuscany.\u003cb\u003eDavid Leavitt\u003c\/b\u003e is a graduate of Yale University and a professor at the University of Florida, where he is the co–director of the creative writing program.
