A magnificently stark bookwithin the smallness of one poor, muddled, provincial life, Natalia Ginzburg finds enormous pain and loss
An almost unbearably intimate novella, The Road to the City concentrates on a young woman barely awake to life, who fumbles through her days: she is fickle yet kind, greedy yet abashed, stupidly ambitious yet loving tooshe is a mass of confusion. 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.
Autoren-Porträt von Natalia Ginzburg
Natalia Ginzburg (19161991), who authored twelve books and two plays; who, because of anti-Semitic laws, sometimes couldn't publish under her own name; who raised five children and lost her husband to Fascist torture; who was elected to the Italian parliament as an independent in her late sixtiesthis woman does not take her present conditions as a given. She asks us to fight back against them, to be brave and resolute. She instructs us to ask for better, for ourselves and for our children (Belle Boggs, The New Yorker).
