italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
Hello, all.
Forgive the self-promotion, but I trust some of you may be interested to
know that my translation of the complete plays of Natalia Ginzburg has just
been published by the University of Toronto Press.

Book description:
"The Wrong Door" is the first English-language translation of the complete
plays of Italian writer Natalia Ginzburg (1916-1991) [...] In this fluent
and faithful translation, Wendell Ricketts highlights Ginzburg's
scalpel-sharp dialogue and lays bare the existential absurdities that lie at
the heart of her plays...
From the cover:
"This is an impressive effort. Wendell Ricketts's translations are
thoroughly enjoyable to read and true to the style and spirit of Natalia
Ginzburg."-Jen Wienstein, Department of Italian, McGill University
Many thanks,
Wendell
