SYNOPSIS One of Ginzburg's finest novels, 'Voices in the Evening' was first published in Italian in 1961. This elegant narrative features a young unmarried woman who reveals the tragedies, loves, and social dynamics of a village during fascism, war, and postwar urbanization. In this novel, penned during Ginzburg's stay in London, the essence of family stories is captured: the presence of the elderly and the emergence of the young, their unexpected growth, and the evolving nature of love, friendships, and animosities. Ginzburg expresses these themes with unmatched fervor and determination, aiming to preserve them from devastation and loss. Like a long family saga, the characters and events unfold in a stark style. We experience the hopes and disappointments of the introspective girl who narrates in the first person, devoid of commentary or introspection. Ginzburg's storytelling remains faithful to objective observations, capturing dialogue and the rhythm of speech. The edition includes supplementary materials such as text notes, a critical anthology, a bibliography, and a chronology of Ginzburg's life and works. Italo Calvino notes that this story portrays individuals trying to bury their thoughts, identifying solely with their actions and words, ultimately finding themselves trapped in absurdity and pain.
