Faber and Faber Trieste and the Meaning of Nowhere
Located on a narrow, mountainous finger of Italy hard by Croatia and Slovenia, the port city of <I>Trieste</I> is little-visited and seldom in the news. As Jan Morris, who first came to Trieste as the English soldier James Morris in 1945, writes, It offers no unforgettable landmark, no universally familiar melody, no unmistakable cuisine, hardly a single native name that anyone knows. Yet, as historian and travel writer Morris ably demonstrates in this homage to one of her favourite cities (others about which she has written are <I>Hong Kong</I>, <I>Sydney</I>, <I>New York</I>, and <I>Venice</I> ), Trieste has many charms. Its history is foremost among them, thanks to the city's former role as the sole port of the otherwise-landlocked Austro-Hungarian empire, which housed a small fleet there--a fleet which, from time to time, would sail off to make war against the Ottomans or the Italians. At the beginning of the 20th century, Trieste had grown to international importance as an entry point into Central Europe, so much so that it was referred to as the third entrance of the Suez Canal. Trieste briefly took centre stage at the onset of the Cold War, when Marshall Tito claimed it for Yugoslavia; it narrowly avoided being enveloped by the Iron Curtain. Morris tells all these stories and more, bringing the city's past to life; no one should be surprised if Trieste sees more visitors thanks to her spirited study. <p> Yet <I>Trieste and the Meaning of Nowhere</I> is also a work tinged with melancholy. That befits the city's faded glory, but it also has to do with the sad fact that this will be Morris's last book--or so she promises. Let's hope she changes her mind. If not, however, this serves very well as the capstone of a distinguished career. --<I>Gregory McNamee</I>
