“In prose as radiant and emotionally precise as Virginia Woolf’s, Bernardi illuminates the working lives and longings of coal miners and wet-nurses, seamstresses, stone masons, and housewives, brilliantly rendering a century in the life of an Italian-American family.”

“Craft and imagination distinguish this short-story cycle about a long bloodline originating in a remote Italian mountain village. . . Her distinctive technique, both panoramic and pointillist, has a unique power to make visible minor ancestral inheritances that time tends to rub out.”

poetry
"Each translation manages to create a true 'character' — a persona through which we can hear the living sound of this bustling, crowded, factually packed, local life. In this, (Bernardi) performs with great effect the true ‘bringing-over’ task of the translator."

Gianni Celati
Translated from the Italian by Adria Bernardi
The University of Chicago Press
account of Gianni Celati’s journey through Senegal, Mali and Mauritania
“(Adventures in Africa) is, like all the best traveler’s books, not a tourist book but a book of self-transport, self-investigation, self-transfiguration. That this ‘tourist’ has the nose, eyes, ears, curiosity, endurance, common sense and uncommon literary power to experience and then verbalize sights, sounds and odors, makes the book a good one to take on a trip to Mali, Mauritania and Senegal.”

“. . . full of humor, harshness, loveliness, startling imagery, political consciousness and humanity. . . Guerra’s imagery, narrative and sense of timing — and Bernardi’s, in translation — produce stunning poems in English.”
