Book Review: “Midnight In Rome” by Michael Gyulai - The secret Rome
By Mary Menzel: Millions of tourists visit Rome every year and go home feeling they have experienced this rich and historical society. They have… but only as a tourist. Michael Gyulai lived, worked and communed in the Eternal City on a daily basis as one of its citizens. Up until now I have always envision Rome as being strictly a historical place but reading “Midnight In Rome” made me realize there is a modern side to Rome as well. Gyulai fluently paints a detailed picture of modern Roman society and culture with its industries, nightclubs and people. By including Italian phrases with delayed translations, Gyulai gets across the frustration of living in a town where your comprehension of the language is minimal. “Midnight In Rome” is also for the adventurer or the adventurer at heart. It is the adventure we all look forward to when we get out of school or as we look back on our youth, the adventure we wish we would have taken.
