About this product
Product Information
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 too--she 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.

Reviews
The youngest of five, Ginzburg writes like someone used to being interrupted, precisely observing daily life with a sibling's affectionate revenge. Her work is marked by a kind of atmospheric pressure., Ginzburg has an incredible talent for depicting explosive clashes within families, integrating insight and humour into her narrative...this lemon of a book invites one to take a bite, to relish the burn., The voice of the Italian novelist and essayist Natalia Ginzburg comes to uswith absolute clarity amid the veils of time and language. Ginzburg gives us anew template for the female voice and an idea of what it might sound like. Thisvoice emerges from her preoccupations and themes, whose specificity anduniversality she considers with a gravitas and authority that seem both familiarand entirely original., A blister of violence lurks tense beneath the words, the skin of it wearing thin, ready to be popped., Ginzburg's view of family is so unsentimental, it's visionary...The Road may be a small story about a small place, but Ginzburg's clarity lends grandeur to Delia's plight., Her prose style is deceptively simple and very complex. Its effect on thereader is both calming and thrilling--that's not so easy to do., I'm utterly entranced by Ginzburg's style--her mysterious directness, hersalutary ability to lay things bare that never feels contrived or cold, only necessary, honest, clear.
