Thematising suicide, loneliness, alienation, repulsion towards life, paired with nihilism and cynicism as defence mechanisms to bear life, Pavese’s brief, contemplative novel turned out even more bleak than the film (there is a significant plot difference in the film which makes the book more nihilistic). I was moved to read this brief novel because of watching Michelangelo Antonioni’s film adaptation Le Amiche and reading Natalia Ginzburg’s essay commemorating Pavese in The Little Virtues ( Portrait of a Friend) and now look forward to read more by and about Pavese.
