Product Description
"Eruptions" is a collection of short fiction by Monica Sarsini, a contemporary writer and multimedia artist from Florence. It comprises selected translations from two of her works, "Crepacuore," her 1985 work on colors, and "Crepapelle," her 1988 reflections on the senses. All of these pieces are sensual explorations in Sarsini's experimental, yet concrete narrative style.
Sarsini’s writing on color was the basis for a series of short narrative pieces that appeared in New Italian Women, introducing Sarsini to American readers, and most recently in "After the War: A Collection of Short Fiction by Post-War Italian Women."
Monica Sarsini is a writer and multimedia artist, born in Florence on September 14, 1953. She continues to live and work in that city. Her visual works have been exhibited and installed in Florence since 1983.
Her literary works include: Libro Luminoso (Exit Edizioni, 1982), Colorare (Exit Edizioni, 1983), Crepacuore (Scheiwiller, 1985), Crepapelle (Scheiwiller, 1988), Serenata (Essegi, 1989), Riassunto (Exit Edizioni, 1990), I passi della sirena (Giunti, 1992), Il mezzo di contrasto (Exit Edizioni, 1996), and Crepapancia (Scheiwiller, 1996), “Feritoie,” in 25 Autori e la Follia (Festina Lente, 1998) Crepitudine (Semmelweiss, 1999), and “Colline,” in Prefigurazioni (Avagliano, 1999).
