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.

Literary Nonfiction. Edited by Dennis Barone and Peter Covino, this
volume collects and expands on many of the ideas explored during
the widely influential Italian American Discussion Group of the
Modern Language Association, in existence ten-plus years. Scholarly
writing about Italian American literature and culture has arguably
entered its second fully and critically engaged decade of sustained
conversation and inquiry. This collection of essays endeavors to
highlight the vitality of these inquiries and offer suggestions for
continuing research and enjoyment.Contributors: Michael
AntonucciNancy Caronia, Jim Cocola, Joseph Conte, John Domini,
Tracy Floreani, Kathleen McCormick, Gina Miele, and Roseanne
Giannini Quinn.
Poetry. Italian-American. Sexual Abuse. "Peter Covino's first book
is spacious, wonderfully unpredictable, and insistent on ambition
and scope. CUT OFF THE EARS OF WINTER is not simply an
autobiography but a poetic autobiography. It moves from the
confessional--stories of the body and the family--to stories of the
mind, art, and history. Especially compelling is the way in which
the intimate biographies of flesh and family are entwined with and
inextricable from matters of art and history... Restless, worldly,
intelligent, and beautiful, CUT OFF THE EARS OF WINTER is an
utterly original first work--Lynn Emanuel.
