The notion of split identity is the underlyng theme in the collection of short stories Other Selves of C. Dino Minni. Other Selves (1986) consists of seven short stories all of witch have first and second generation Italian Canadians as main characters. What they all share is an indelible sense of exclusion, of non-belonging.   Thanks to Guernica Editions for granting the rights to this translation.
