Book Synopsis The Dry Heart by : Natalia Ginzburg

Download or read book The Dry Heart written by Natalia Ginzburg and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2019-06-25 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finally back in print, a frighteningly lucid feminist horror story about marriage The Dry Heart begins and ends with the matter-of-fact pronouncement: “I shot him between the eyes.” As the tale—a plunge into the chilly waters of loneliness, desperation, and bitterness—proceeds, the narrator's murder of her flighty husband takes on a certain logical inevitability. Stripped of any preciousness or sentimentality, Natalia Ginzburg's writing here is white-hot, tempered by rage. She transforms the unhappy tale of an ordinary dull marriage into a rich psychological thriller that seems to beg the question: why don't more wives kill their husbands?
