The monthly Literati Glitterati Salon returns for its final instalment for 2024 to discuss autobiographical novel Family Lexicon by Natalia Ginzburg about life, language, and family in Italy from the 1920s to the 50s.
Mel Fulton speaks to writer and editor Hilary McPhee, collection manager and multidisciplinary artist Marita Dyson, and writer Raeden Richardson on how Ginzburg uses words to create a family bonded by phrases and how the book explores the dysfunction and isolation of family, language, and identity with much humor and affection.
