[Italian] - Oggi una donna è andata fuori di testa al supermercato

"Scritti tra gli anni Sessanta e Settanta e apparsi su diverse riviste, come 'Esquire' e 'The Saturday Evening Post', questi stupefacenti racconti legati tra loro seguono l'altalenante matrimonio di una donna e di suo marito Howard, addentrandosi con intelligenza e umorismo nella sfera domestica per esplorare problematiche legate al sesso, al desiderio, alla maternità, alla depressione, alla quotidianità. Con grazia e candore, lo sguardo penetrante di Wolitzer mette a nudo le contraddizioni e le tensioni della vita di coppia e la fatica che comporta non saper mentire, soprattutto a se stessi. La felice riscoperta di un'autrice molto amata in America e pronta a essere apprezzata da una nuova generazione di lettori. contributori TR Bettina Cristiani LE Betta Cucci"

Today a Woman Went Mad in the Supermarket: Stories

"Bloomsbury presents Today a Woman Went Mad in the Supermarket by Hilma Wolitzer, read by Hilary Huber. A TIME 'New Books You Should Read' A People magazine 'Book of the Week' A New York Times Editors' Choice With a foreword by Elizabeth Strout ‘Electric: with wit, with rage, with grief, with the kind of prose that makes you both laugh and thrill to the darker, spikier emotions just barely visible under the bright surface. What a wonderful collection of stories’ Lauren Groff Another day! And then another and another and another. It seemed as if it would all go on forever in that exquisitely boring and beautiful way. But of course it wouldn’t; everyone knows that. In this collection, Hilma Wolitzer invites us inside the private world of domestic bliss, seen mostly through the lens of Paulie and Howard’s gloriously ordinary marriage. From hasty weddings to meddlesome neighbours, ex-wives who just won’t leave, to sleepless nights spent worrying about unanswered chainmail, Wolitzer captures the tensions, contradictions and unexpected detours of daily life with wit, candour and an acutely observant eye. Including stories first published in magazines in the 1960s and 1970s – alongside new writing from Wolitzer, now in her nineties – Today a Woman Went Mad in the Supermarket reintroduces a beloved writer to be embraced by a new generation of readers. ‘A fascinating time capsule of womanhood, marriage and motherhood over the last century … A fabulous book’ Emma Straub ‘Immensely gratifying, poignant, funny … Breathtaking’ Elizabeth Strout, from the foreword C 2021 Hilma Wolitzer P 2021 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC"
