sono un assegnista di ricerca dell'Università della Calabria. Mi sto occupando dell'opera di Louise DeSalvo e, inevitabilmente, anche della sua (oltre che di quella di Tina DeRosa, Helen Barolini, Mary Cappello, ecc.). Sto faticosamente ricostruendo il corpus bibliografico che mi consenta di dare al lavoro la portata che merita. Ho intervistato Louise DeSalvo (pubblicherò l'intervista su uno dei prossimi numeri della "Rivista di Studi Italiani"). Le scrivo per avere da lei qualche suggerimento sul taglio da accordare alle mie ricerche e perché avrei bisogno di leggere ciò che lei ha scritto sull'opera della DeSalvo (in particolare, l'introduzione alla ristampa di Vertigo, ma anche l'introvabile Dire l'indicibile). Ho già letto gran parte delle opere della DeSalvo, ma (per non recarmi sempre in una biblioteca piuttosto distante dal luogo in cui risiedo e lavoro) vorrei acquistare i volumi. Come fare? Ho provato con amazon.com, ma le spese di spedizione superano di gran lunga il costo dei volumi. Mi potrebbe aiutare? Spero tanto di sì. I miei studi, fino a questo momento, pur dotati di taglio interdisciplinare, si sono incentrati sulla letteratura italiana (ho scritto tre monografie su autori italiani e una quarantina di saggi) e, quindi, la sua guida sarebbe per me molto preziosa. La ringrazio per l'attenzione che vorrà accordarmi e la saluto con cordialità. Il suo

I'm an old friend of Tina DeRosa, the author of "Paper Fish." I'm trying to write a chapter on Tina and her work for an anthology of Italian American writers. I would very much like to talk with you about her! Please contact me through i-Italy. Thanks, Pamela

I really enjoied meeting you, i need your help for writing my thesis, about italian-american writers. Hope u write me back, thanks. Buonaserata.
I have just joined this site and my mother is from Sicily. I would love some Italian American writers on Book Creators Circle. There is so much which can be done and should be done to support writers. Australia is not an easy country for writers and people in publishing. I suppose it is the same everywhere. Hope to link up with others who like me are from an Italian background and who write. Thanks. Letizia
As an Italian/American writer you must have an opinion on the teaching of the Italian language in the United States...
Why don’t you help the i-italy crew to try to save the AP Italian program? Add a comment to the discussion we’ve just started!!!
