A review by abij
The House on Via Gemito by Domenico Starnone

"I was bewildered, in shock. What an intense feeling shock is. A thought that consumes itself because of excessive tension." p. 328

Excellent book about memory, trauma, and trying to escape a patriarchal father. A portrait of a disapointed artist, Italy, and the way that abuse passes down through generations.

I was gripped from the first page to the last.
