Description
In This Collection Of Her Finest And Best-Known Short Essays, Natalia Ginzburg Explores Both The Mundane Details And Inescapable Catastrophes Of Personal Life With The Grace And Wit That Have Assured Her Rightful Place In The Pantheon Of Classic Mid-Century Authors. Whether She Writes Of The Loss Of A Friend, Cesare Pavese; Or What Is Inexpugnable Of World War Ii; Or The Abruzzi, Where She And Her First Husband Lived In Forced Residence Under Fascist Rule; Or The Importance Of Silence In Our Society; Or Her Vocation As A Writer; Or Even A Pair Of Worn-Out Shoes, Ginzburg Brings To Her Reflections The Wisdom Of A Survivor And The Spare, Wry, And Poetically Resonant Style Her Readers Have Come To Recognize. A Glowing Light Of Modern Italian Literature . . . GinzburgS Magic Is The Utter Simplicity Of Her Prose, Suddenly Illuminated By One Word That Makes A Lightning Streak Of A Plain Phrase. . . . As Direct And Clean As If It Were Carved In Stone, It Yet Speaks Thoughts Of The Heart. - The New York Times Book Review
