Abstract

This contribution analyzes the forms, reasons, and modalities of the use of anthroponyms by several recent authors from the Ligurian Ponente (the Western part of the Liguria Region), or set their novels in that area. The authors taken into examination span from Francesco Biamonti, for whom names are vehicles for the poetic transfiguration of reality, to Nico Orengo, whose choices are dictated by irony and detatched polemic. The other writers completing the selection are Giuseppe Conte, Francesco Rum, Marino Magliani and Elio Lanteri.
