Un itinerario nell’opera di Lalla Kezich, con una lettura del romanzo breve La preparazione

Abstract

A diminutive and a surname, acquired by her husband and well-known film critic Tullio, define the stage name of Lalla Kezich, ‘b-side figure’ in the Italian literary panorama of the Twentieth Century. This contribution aims to present some notes about her work and its reception, providing a preliminary reading of the short novel that made her enter – and partially affirm – in the Italian publishing market, to which she had already appeared since 1972, after some years spent working in cinema and radio industry. The last paragraph of this essay is dedicated to literary prizes she attended between 1978 and 1985.
