Monday, 03/02/2020 - 6:30pm. Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò - 24 W 12th St, New York, NY 10011. On the occasion of the publication of the paperback edition of "Personal Effects Essays on Memoir, Teaching, and Culture in the Work of Louise DeSalvo" (2019, Fordham University Press).

Celebrating one of the most important Italian American female authors of our time, Personal Effects offers a lucid view of Louise DeSalvo as a writer who produced a vast and provocative body of memoir writing, a scholar who enriched our understanding of Virginia Woolf, and a teacher who transformed countless lives. More than an anthology, Personal Effects represents an author case study and an example for modern Italian American interdisciplinary scholarship.
