Voices by Dacia Maraini

Voices by Dacia Maraini

Just after radio journalist Michela Canova finds out that her neighbour, Angela, has been murdered, she is asked to prepare a radio series on crimes against women. Researching the programmes, Michela is forced to confront the horror and violence of big city life. Did Angela drive her many admirers to the very limit of sexual frenzy until one of them exploded? And why does Michela see the same pattern of incitement and repulsion repeat itself in her own relationships? Dacia Maraini asks a fundamental question about the human condition: how can individuals escape patterns of domination, that are in place the world over? Her sophisticated answers show why Maraini is one of Europe's outstanding voices.

?Maraini
s great skill is that she does not allow the exploration of ideas to take over at the expense of the story, nor the story to obscure the ideas? Independent on Sunday 'An artist of considerable power * Scotsman *
Italy's most audacious writer * Sunday Times *

Dacia Maraini is Italy's most controversial author. Works translated into English include Isolina, The Silent Duchess (Campiello Prize 1990) and Bagheria. A fearless political and social campaigner, she is hated by the power brokers of Italian society. As the Guardian put it: 'Once Alberto Moravia's lover, she is now a bestselling writer, vociferous about women and the Left, who has turned detective. No wonder the Italian establishment want to silence Dacia Maraini.'
