读过《The Dry Heart》 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
一度有点蓝胡子，丈夫离家前锁上的门，门后抽屉里的左轮手枪；也很像婚姻生活版的the haunting of hill house。 她与Alberto的家正是hill house，想象与焦虑将她拖入深渊。女作家的感知力无与伦比，婚姻前后和生育中的细节，充满了或粗糙或细腻的质感，无比真实。

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?
