Ginzburg has such a concise and conversational style of writing. It feels as though you're sat in a cafe with a really interesting friend telling you lots of funny anecdotes from their life. Although this books is classified as a novel, it is more of a biography. Using the idiosyncratic phrases each family member regularly used, Ginzburg looks back on her memories of her family. At once very fun and very sad, we follow her family as they cope with as they cope with the coming and going of friendships, holidays in the mountains, the persection of Jews and non-fascists, and WW2 and its devastating aftermath.

"Era necessário voltar a escolher as palavras, a perscrutá-las para sentir se eram falsas ou verdadeiras, se tinham ou não raízes verdadeiras em nós, ou se tinham apenas as raízes efêmeras da ilusão comum. Era necessário, portanto, se a pessoa escrevia, voltar a assumir o próprio ofício que, na embriaguez geral, tinha esquecido."

Took me a sec to get into the rhythm but rlly enjoyed. Ginsburg is excellent at capturing people’s humanity in their silly exasperating ways and their deeply felt reflections, and most impressively …slipping quickly and seamlessly between the two!
If anything held me back it’s that there is only a subtle arc to this memoir/auto-fiction, tho I also enjoyed the fact that it’s only lightly structured around the war. It could go all the way into that! And it does but only insofar as it effects the family dynamic and their relationships to eachother. I respect the choice!!

Ho voluto ascoltare, a quarant'anni, questo classico del Novecento che ero stato obbligato a leggere al liceo a sedici anni.
Da adolescente avevo fatto fatica a finirlo, annoiandomi a morte. Adesso, invece, grazie anche all'interpretazione di Margherita Buy, l'ho trovato molto più interessante.
Lessico famigliare è un libro da leggere per capire come vivevano le famiglie di borghesi e intellettuali durante il Ventennio fascista.
