History by Elsa Morante REVIEW

The article I mention early into the video, offering an overview of the reception of La storia among the Italian cultural establishment. (The article is in Italian, and it's actually an overview of a research project by Angela Borghesi, who collected reviews and opinion pieces on Morante's novel):

I only realized after filming the video how difficult to locate the novel is in the English speaking world. Those among you who'd like to experience this masterpiece for themselves might need to do some digging:
IndieBound seems to have no copy, though your favorite bookseller might be able to find one (affiliate link ahead): https://www.indiebound.org/book/97815...
Hive.co.uk has eBook copies available, though no paper copies (affiliate link ahead again): https://tinyurl.com/yhf4dfln
