Me costó leerlo, como que no pasa nada pero en el fondo pasa todo. Muy interesante el concepto del lenguaje propio dentro de una familia.

Decepción. Salir indemne de un libro en el que hay una historia familiar, judíos, Italia, la II Guerra Mundial, Pavese, el PC italiano, Mussolini, el origen de la editorial Einaudi, suicidios, huidas y exilios, Paris... me da mucha rabia. Y la culpa no ha sido mía.

Una storia autobiografica con alcuni spunti interessanti -- sopratutto per il contesto storico in cui è ambientata. Ginzburg racconta la storia della sua famiglia intrecciandola con la storia dell'Italia che si sviluppa nel sottofondo. Per me, però, ci sono troppi personaggi e un ecessivo name-dropping che non mi ha coinvolto (dato che non conscevo nessuno)

This is a great memoir-type book. It's focused through the eyes of the family, around the various patterns/repetitions that make up the minutiae of family life. The prose is terse, and sometimes a bit too much so. Nonetheless it's a great read. I see why NYRB picked it up. I read the Carcanet version, which seemed to have a very adequate translation by D.M. Low.
