She's in a bleak space, lit with the hard clarity of a Pasolini film. Her family is no help: her father is largely absent; her mother is miserable; her sister's unhappily promiscuous; her brothers are in a separate masculine world. Only her cousin Nini seems to see her. She falls into disgrace and then "marries up," but without any joy, blind to what was beautiful right before her own eyes. The Road to the City was Ginzburg's very first work, originally published under a pseudonym. "I think it might be her best book," her translator Gini Alhadeff remarked: "And apparently she thought so, too, at the end of her life, when assembling a complete anthology of her work for Mondadori.""-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Young women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Dysfunctional families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Italian fiction $y 20th century. 655 7 $a novellas. $2 aat $0 (CStmoGRI)aatgf300202569 655 7 $a Novellas $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921741 655 7 $a Novellas. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novellas. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000664 700 1 $a Alhadeff, Gini, $e translator. 830 0 $a Storybook ND 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240117013534.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4BF0F338B50611EEB233F11920ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
