Celebrating one of the most important Italian American female
authors of our time, Personal Effects offers a lucid view of Louise
DeSalvo as a writer who has produced a vast and provocative body of
memoir writing, a scholar who has enriched our understanding of
Virginia Woolf, and a teacher who has transformed countless lives.
More than an anthology, Personal Effects represents an author case
study and an example for modern Italian American interdisciplinary
scholarship.
Personal Effects examines DeSalvo's memoirs as works that push the
boundaries of the most controversial genre of the past few decades.
In these works, the author fearlessly explores issues such as
immigration, domesticity, war, adultery, illness, mental health,
sexuality, the environment, and trauma through the lens of gender,
ethnic, and working-class identity. Alongside her groundbreaking
scholarship, DeSalvo's memoirs attest to the power and influence of
this feminist Italian American writer.
