Natalia Ginzburg – Family Lexicon
Only 1 left in stock
$9.00
Family Lexicon is about a family and language—and about storytelling not only as a form of survival but also as an instrument of deception and domination. The book takes the shape of a novel, yet everything is true. “Every time that I have found myself inventing something in accordance with my old habits as a novelist, I have felt impelled at once to destroy [it],” Ginzburg tells us at the start. “The places, events, and people are all real.”
Book is in Very Good condition and shows light general wear. There may be slight shelfwear to edges and wraps, however binding will be fully intact and most wear will be superficial. *Image in the listing is stock. There may be variation in the actual product.
