Family and Borghesia

'Ginzburg gives us a new template for the female voice and an idea of what it might sound like.' --Rachel Cusk 'Ginzburg's beautiful words have such solidarity. I read her with joy and amazement.' --Tessa Hadley '[Ginzburg's] stories have a subtle power that catches you at the end. . . each sings with the characteristic wit and piercing clarity of prose that holds you rapt when you read her work.' --Paris Review Daily 'These two novellas are suffused with the rigorous wisdom Ginzburg earned through calamity and her determination to persist nonetheless in her work.' --Los Angeles Review of Books 'I'm utterly entranced by Ginzburg's style - her mysterious directness, her salutary ability to lay things bare that never feels contrived or cold, only necessary, honest, clear.' --Maggie Nelson
