Book Title
The Dry Heart

Natalia Ginzburg
ISBN
9780811228787
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?Binding Type: PaperbackAuthor: Natalia GinzburgPublisher: New Directions Publishing CorporationPublished: 06/25/2019ISBN: 9780811228787Pages: 96Weight: 0.30lbsSize: 7.80h x 5.10w x 0.30dReview Citations: Kirkus Reviews 05/15/2019 pg. 11
