A Place to Live: and other selected essays of

Arguably one of Italyâ‚¬s greatest contemporary writers, Natalia Ginzburg has been best known in America as a writerâ‚¬s writer, quiet beloved of her fellow wordsmiths. This collection of personal essays chosen by the eminent American writer Lynne Sharon Schwartz from four of Ginzburgâ‚¬s books written over the course of Ginzburgâ‚¬s lifetime was a many-years long project for Schwartz. These essays are deeply felt, but also disarmingly accessible. Full of self-doubt and searing insight, Ginzburg is merciless in her attempts to describe herself and her worldâ‚¬"and yet paradoxically, her self-deprecating remarks reveal her deeper confidence in her own eye and writing ability, as well as the weight and nuance of her exploration of the conflict between humane values and bureaucratic rigidity.
