Secrets and Puzzles : Silence and the Unsaid in Contemporary Italian Writing Paperback / softback
by Nicoletta Simborowski
Paperback / softback
- Information
Description
Four major Italian writers raised in the shadow of fascism - Cesare Pavese, Primo Levi, Natalia Ginzburg and Francesca Sanvitale - are the focus of this examination of the 'unsaid' in modern Italian narrative.
Post-war and free of official censorship, these writers nonetheless show signs of constraint and omission in their work.
Are the gaps a form of concealment? In this lucid and wide-ranging study, which embraces key areas of modern literary investigation - Holocaust writing, political guilt, autobiography, feminism and film theory - the author addresses the question of self-censorship and traces its course in contemporary Italian writing.
