Description: "Maraini's own analysis of women's writing and the dynamic of denigration that disavows its value, "Reflections on the Logical and Illogical Bodies of My Sexual Compatriots," opens the volume. There follow fourteen essays by an international group of Italianists, utilizing a wide spectrum of interpretive perspectives, from semiotics to psychoanalysis, to treat the full range of Maraini's production as novelist, playwright, poet, and film-maker.".

"This volume is recommended to both Italianist and feminist scholars and students, as well as to readers concerned with the ties between literary theory and textual analysis."--BOOK JACKET.
