Italian Days

By: Barbara Grizzuti Harrison

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

A “contagiously exuberant” celebration of Italian food, culture, and history that “will be the companion of visitors for years to come” (The Washington Post Book World). In an absorbing journey down the Italian peninsula, essayist, journalist, and fiction writer Barbara Grizzuti Harrison, offers a fascinating mixture of history, politics, folklore, food, architecture, arts, and literature, studded with local anecdotes and personal reflections. From fashionable Milan to historic Rome and primitive, brooding Calabria, Harrison reveals her country of origin in all its beauty, peculiarity, and glory. Italian Days is the story of a return home; of friends, family, and faith; and of the search for the good life that propels all of us on our journeys wherever we are. “Harrison’s wonderful journal will make you update your passport and dream of subletting your job, home, etc. . . . With Harrison, you never know with whom you’ll be lunching, or climbing down a ruin. You just know you want to be there.” —Glamour

An Accidental Autobiography

By: Barbara Grizzuti Harrison

When asked to describe this book, Harrison responds, "An autobiography in which I am not the main character". In her unconventional though never arbitrary approach, she writes about memory, and since memories tend to attach themselves to "things", she writes about collecting and acquiring them in a marvelous chapter entitled "Loot and Lists and Lust (and Things)". And since memories also attach themselves to people, in "Men and God(s)" she talks about men - those in her life and those she's wished were. She remembers the rooms of her childhood and adolescence in "Rooms: Signs and Symbols", and since memories are also housed in our flesh, she has written "Food, Flesh, and Fashion" and "Scars and Distinguishing Marks". Her own brand of experience with the women's movement is dissected in "Home Economics", and human frailty and illness in "Breathing Lessons".
