Partire da sé per parlare a tuttƏ : Le forme oblique dell'autobiografia nei saggi di Natalia Ginzburg

The paper surveys the overall genesis and editorial developments of Ginzburg's nonfiction writing, also dwelling on its critical reception. It identifies some salient features of the author's journalistic prose: the rejection and circumvention of the established public discourse codes, how she transitions from a personal perspective to a universal speech, elocution strategies, and the insistence on parental ties as a measure of human time.
