Camila Sosa Villada: writing a place for oneself in the world
Il viaggio inutile. Corpo e scrittura joins SUR’s catalogue, connecting autobiography, identity and literature.
What happens when literature becomes a place in which a person can exist? That question accompanies Camila Sosa Villada’s Il viaggio inutile. Corpo e scrittura, discussed by ANSA on 12 October and announced in SUR’s catalogue. The Argentine author of Le cattive returns to her own experience: childhood, family relationships, life as a trans woman and theatre enter the narrative alongside the discovery of writing. Giulia Zavagna provides the Italian translation. The book connects personal memory with reflection on reading, approaching words as a search for a voice and a possible form of repair. For readers following Sosa Villada, it offers a route into the experiences behind her work. Consult the publisher’s updated listing for availability and publication details.
