Italian Author Rosa Matteucci's 'Cartagloria' Resonates With Readers
Italian author Rosa Matteucci's words have left a profound impact, her interviews marked by deep listening and her novels a vital exploration of life and language. Her latest novel, 'Cartagloria', is a deeply personal work that has resonated with readers and critics alike.
Matteucci believes that embracing one's destiny can lead to freedom. This philosophy is reflected in her writing, which is never an academic exercise but a necessary act. Born from a spirit of deep listening, her interviews have left listeners unmoved.
Her novel 'Cartagloria' is a liturgical act, a powerful prayer that reckons with life and oneself. Every event in the novel has actually happened to Matteucci, with hardly any invention. The novel is filled with ghosts and revelations, fathers and mothers, crosses to bear, and long-silenced words finally spoken aloud. It is a dense, layered experience that crosses into Matteucci's inner world of pain, irony, and grace.
Matteucci's first novel published after 'Cartagloria' was 'The Enchanted Isles'. She admires books that teach something linguistically, hold full attention, and enrich after the final page. Matteucci herself learned to read and write late, with her mother reading to her in German and translating into Italian.
Matteucci's writing is a vital gesture, a necessary act that enriches the Italian language, which she believes has been impoverished with a vocabulary shrunk to about 250 words. Her novel 'Cartagloria' is a testament to her belief that freedom lies in embracing one's destiny, and her work continues to inspire and move readers.
