| biography:
| Writer, born in Genoa, Liguria, NW Italy. She began her career with the highly autobiographical La bambina (1976, The Girl) but gained success with La casa sul lago della luna (1984, The House on Moon Lake), a depiction of fantasy and wish-fulfilment. Social criticism is central to Lieto fine (1987, Happy Ending) and Effetti personali (1988, Personal Effects), while Ultima stesura (1991, Last Draft) revolves around the relationship between art and life. |
