..."The Little Virtues" ...or a masterclass in essay writing
(THIS IS WHERE THE LINK WILL BE WHEN THE SECOND PART IS OUT)
Another Title could be:
NON-ITALIANS TALK ABOUT TRANSLATED ITALIAN LITERATURE

After having discovered Natalia Ginzburg through essays on books by other great authors, I immediately was curious.
When I saw endorsements of the great women of contemporary English literature such as Zadie Smith, Maggie Nelson, Deborah Levy, Vivian Gorncik, Rachel Cusk, and Sally Rooney - on the recent reprints of her books - I was thrilled.
It immediately felt like I had found a rare treasure. And “The Little Virtues” remains one of the best things I’ve read to this day. You should read it. Absolutely.
I dragged my gal Olivia to read her, and then to talk about it on here. Yay!
I hope you like this!
Fans of Elena Ferrante will definitely love reading Natalia Ginzburg too

Hahaha hearing myself realising I most likely (like 95% of millennials) have ADHD/ADD OR I'm just excited - but despite the jumpy thoughts and scattered exclamations, what was to you the most interesting part/takeaway of this discussion? 🥀👇🏼

I wish I had an in-person book buddy just like you! You've convinced me to finally read Natalia Ginzburg. Thank you.

Love your enthusiasm and conversation. I am working my way through all her work (in a book group set up by @hardcoverhearts on Book Tube). Have just read this collection and am still digesting it but I found the last three essays, in particular , were so rich. I think the opening paragraph of The Little Virtues is genius as it really sets out her argument band is so intriguing .It reads like a hippy manifesto setting out what was coming in counterculture sixties ....there is certainly something utopian about her attitude to money . (The assumption is , of course , you can always get hold of more...) . Have to say aspects of her philosophy match my own mother's so maybe I'm biased ...
