In May and September 1976, two earthquakes ripped through
north-eastern Italy, causing severe damage to the landscape and its
population. About a thousand people died under the rubble, tens of
thousands were left without shelter, and many ended up leaving
their homes in Friuli forever. The displacement of material as a
result of the earthquakes was enormous. New terrain was formed that
reflects the force of the catastrophe and captures the fundamentals
of natural history. But it is far more difficult to find expression
for the human trauma, the experience of an abruptly shattered
existence. In Rombo, Esther Kinsky’s sublime new novel, seven
inhabitants of a remote mountain village talk about their lives,
which have been deeply impacted by the earthquake that has left
marks they are slowly learning to name. From the shared experience
of fear and loss, the threads of individual memory soon unravel and
become haunting and moving narratives of a deep trauma.
