Oriana Fallaci (b. 1930) is an awkward presence on Italian
bookshelves, in world journalism and among feminists. This book,
the first literary study of Fallaci, examines the implications of
the storms and silences that she keeps rousing. A fully emancipated
and successful woman in the man's world of political journalism,
she has antagonised many feminists by her championship of
motherhood and her idolization of heroic manhood. In journalism,
her critics have felt that she has outraged the conventions of
interviewing and reporting. As a novelist, she shatters the
invisible diaphragm of literariness and is accused of betraying, or
simply failing, literature.
This book focuses on Fallaci's direct engagement as a writer with
major political and social issues such as women's liberation,
Vietnam, Islamic fundamentalism and the space programme. A
distinctive and controversial feature of her writing is the way in
which she blurs the interface between reportage and fiction in an
attempt to obliterate the gap that separates the word from the
world.
